Lyrics

I left my home, and I picked up a gun
Left the mountains and the valleys
And the linnets sweet old song
In defense of dublin city and
Our rights defense, it's true
For that is where we met
And I did it all for you

Chorus:
I did it all for you
Oh I did it all for you
Never a thought within my mind
Not a thing I couldn't do
I did it all for you
Oh I did it all for you
And now that it's done
I just don't know what to do

Now our town's become a city
And the dance becomes a ball
And jobs become computers
Which I cannot do at all
Now we are old
And our church's attendance is few
And now it's gone and i'm retired
Still I did it all for you

Chorus

Oh! you're dead my love
And our family's gone away
But so has the loss of privacy
And responsibility
But this celtic tiger
Rugged individualism
I just cannot do
Lord have mercy on you love
My god, I did it all for you

Chorus

How do I take care of myself?
God, I never wanted to
