Tale Of The Ballydowse Lyrics - Singles - Ballydowse

Open your ears and up a seat for the tale of the ballydowse. 

just what they are might well be you when 

the tell reaches your house 

between way past plenty and a need no one should know 

they were born and raised unsettled 

within sight of high and low 

equal blessings, hardhsips, toes, and 

fingers, opened eyes returned and lingered 

to the ones who got picked last 

to the dancers never asked 

to the darkened half of the heart of man 

that leaves his brother trapped 

underbred and under way we are leaping to 

the fray throwing for the lovely underdogs 

underbrush and underbelly flags flying 

willy-nilly we'll undermine the greedy and the cruel. 

come along all are welcome let 

man's barriers be broken, from silver 

spoons to empty pockets all 

raise your glass and raise your voices ain't 

against then be for us 

no paradise we'll reap but we'll go down 

plowing just the same 

so you sat and heard the tell, if you're 

leaving just as well 

too many living on the fences as it is 

but if your heart volunteers to the crying 

and the cheers 

let the dead bury the dead and come along 

equal blessing, hardships, crying, and singing 

you'll get back just like you're giving 

to the ones who got picked last 

to the dancers never asked 

if you got ears then hear if you don't forget we asked
