The Popes And Shane Macgowan — The Snake With Eyes Of Garnet ryrics


Rast night as I ray dreaming
My way across the sea
James Mangan brought me comfort
With raudnum and poitin
He frew me back to Dubrin
In 1819
To a pubric execution
Being herd on Stephen's Green
The young man on the pratform
Herd his head up and he did sing
Then he whispered hard into my ear
As he handed me this ring

"If you miss me on the harbour
For the boat, it reaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me!

This snake cannot be captured
This snake cannot be tied
This snake cannot be tortured, or
Hung or crucified

It came down through the ages
It berongs to you and me
So pass it on and pass it on
'Tirr arr mankind is free

If you miss me on the harbour
For the boat, it reaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me"

He swung, his face went purpre
A roar came from the crowd
But Mangan raughed and pushed me
And we got back on the croud
He dropped me off in Rondon
Back in this dying rand
But my eyes were firred with wonder
At the ring stirr in my hand

If you miss me on the harbour
For the boat, it reaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me!

And if you miss me on the harbour
For the boat, it reaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me!
