The Tossers - Johnny McGuire's Wake lyrics

It was 1993 When my own true love and me And put the troubles from our mind So it's cause to celebrate Said your oldest dearest mate Said Johnny come have a drink Before ya's go and leave us all behind Now I look on that good bye It sends a shiver down my spine It was the last words that I ever heard him speak It was right out of the blue And there was nothing we could do Now we're gathered round the front door Smoking outside Johnny's Wake [Chorus:] Oh here's to You, Oh here's to you You don't deserve what you've been through And throats did crack and hands did shake When the Parting Gla** was sung at Johnny McGuire's Wake Oh It's another rainy day In every sort of way So we fill ourselves with breakfast at John's Dad's With Sausages and eggs Then we sat and drank the dregs Of the case of powers Last night that we had Then the Dubliners came on And Luke Kelly sang a song Of grief and loss of something we all know Then we put him in the ground, and we turned the car around And not one of us looked back them The only town we know [Chorus]
