irish green

blimey,

the magic of an irish jig an’ song

mixed with english ale an’ joy

metallic green filled with light

the smile of an angel an’ pure love

you give me shelter and ivory pipe

unblemished love an’ guts

no one can take you down in right

your raw strength of will,

fill the air

in cold gale an’ icy wind

you don’t easy lay down

sweet pipers an’ lassie lace

fire an’ ice you slay the wrong

no fool can stand against you

the beauty of your lace

metallic green seamed

with glowing white

reflecting right

you put the fool in his place

bring on your glorious drums

your red flaming hair

and bring down injustice

God is your strength

bring out your pipes and play us a song

your green set eyes

mixed in cream of hands

set on royal satin white

strum your strings

bring in your sweet

your tender side of love

play yer gold violin

an’ dance on the shimmering green
