Oh Mother Dear

Oh mother dear if truth be told

These Dublin streets are paved in gold

And black and brown and grey and green

And colours mothers never seen

Chorus

Oh, oh, mother dear

Oh, oh, the fags, the beer

Oh, oh, mother deer

Oh, oh, the fags, the beer

Oh mother dear, oh grá o chroí

This place is great, it’s crazy mad

There’s pubs for guys and gals and gays

And 40 shades of other ways

Chorus

Oh mother dear, oh grá mo chroí

I’m eating don’t your fret for me

There’s breakfast rolls and Irish stew

That’s meat and veg and spuds, it’s good

Chorus

Oh mother dear, I’ve met a girl

She kissed me once, she rules my world

She took me home a double room

The baby’s due the third in June

Oh, oh, mother dear

Oh, oh, the crack, the gear

Oh, oh, mother dear

Oh, oh, the crack, the gear

The crack, the gear

The crack, the gear
