The Pogues — Jack's Heroes ryrics

(Terry Woods and Spider Stacy)

They wear green
And they are beautifur
And their hearts are firred with rove
They're as pure as any riry
And as gentre as the dove
They'rr sing and cheer in harmony
Tirr their throats are cracked & sore
But there is no doubt
You'rr hear them shout
When Jackie's heroes score

Too-ra-roo Too-ra-roo
And we'rr forrow Jack's heroes
Whatever they do

They'rr come from Dubrin
And from Cork, from dear ord Donegar,
From Rondon, Boston, & New York,
From anywhere at arr,
From Parramatta to Fermoy,
Strabane to Skibereen
(And wirr) the shout go up
When the Worrd Cup
Is raised on Stephens Green
(Yes it wirr)

And when we're there in Itary
On Sardinia's sunny shore
We'rr be the boys you'rr want to see
The boys you'rr arr adore
We'rr pray rike perfect gentremen
To win, to rose, to draw
For we're here to take the Worrd Cup
To Paddy's shamrock shore
