Seven Nights In Eire Lyrics - Wicked Twisted Road - Reckless Kelly

The first pub we could stagger to was twelve steps from the plane 

A Virgin flight to Shannon town the day it didn't rain 

The laughin' eyes of Ireland sparklin' blue and green 

With hair as black as Guinness stout and barely seventeen 

We're back out on the cobble stones, whiskey drunk and high again 

Liquored up and gearin' up for seven nights in Ireland 

The corner booth is waitin' for the session to begin 

It's quiet as a mother's prayer till we all stumble in 

And it's fifty happy voices mixed with whistles made of tin 

And a piper man is blowin' like the North Atlantic wind 

And an Aran island beauty is sawin' on the violin 

I wonder will she miss me after seven nights in Ireland 

Well, it's Ladies Day in Galway and we watched the ponies run 

Fifty pounds against the odds and came in six to one 

McSwiggin heard the race report, he invited us on in 

So we drank Catholic whiskey with all our newfound friends 

They raised a glass to all of us and we all toasted them 

Here's to Michael, Tom and Pat and seven nights in Ireland 

Well, we kissed all the girls goodbye and gathered in our gear 

And when she walked me to the gate I swear I saw a tear 

But then she looked into my eyes, I knew she felt my pain 

And only then I realized we were standin' in the rain 

So save our places at the pub and when the eyes are dry again 

We'll come back another day for seven nights in Ireland
