Pied Piper Lyrics - Saw Doctors

Well it seems when he came over 

Things were fairly looking up 

Played full-forward for Mountbellow 

When they won the county cup 

Young Barret's gone to Boston 

So he has to play in goal 

The pied piper's come to Ireland 

And he's living on the dole 

You can stroll through Cong or Ballinrobe 

You can walk the streets of Tuam 

Thumb out as far as Headford 

On returning pass through Shrule 

You won't see many young ones 

No matter where you roam 

The pied piper's come to Ireland 

And he's living on the dole 

The pied piper's come to Ireland 

And he's living on the dole 

Played in Spiddal with the Waterboys 

now he loves rock and roll 

Now there's just a pile of rubble 

Where the workers used to be 

Just a stone's throw from the banks 

Through which the ould Clare river flows 

When the people hear his haunting tune 

They pack and leave their homes 

The fear of revolution 

The pied piper gets the dole 

I hear they're raising money 

Abroad in New York town 

It's not for guns or bombs this time 

But to turn the tables round 

One last job for the piper 

And they'll pay one great amount 

To drive them all into the sea 

That gang in Leinster House
