[Verse 1]
Oh the last time I saw you, we were down at the Greeks
There was whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
You sang me a song that was pure as the breeze
On the road lead up Glenaveigh

[Verse 2]
I sat for a while at the cross at Finnoe
Where young lovers would meet when the flowers were in bloom
Heard the men coming from the fair in Shinrone
Their hearts in Tipperary wherever they go

[Chorus]
Take my hand and dry your tеars, babe
Take my hand, forget your fеars, babe
There's no pain, there's no more sorrow
They've all gone, gone in the years, babe

[Verse 3]
Oh I sat for a while by the gap in the wall
Found a rusty tin can and an old hurlin' ball
The cards being dealt and the rosary called
And the fiddle playing Sean Dún na Gall

[Verse 4]
Now the next time I see you, we'll be down at the Greeks
There'll be whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl
'Bout a rusty tin can and an old hurlin' ball
[Chorus]
Take my hand and dry your tears, babe
Take my hand, forget your fears, babe
There's no pain, there's no more sorrow
They've all gone, gone in the years, babe

[Outro]
So I walked as day was dawning
Where small birds sang and leaves were falling
Where we once watched the rowboats landing
By the broad majestic Shannon
Where we once watched the rowboats landing
By the broad majestic Shannon
