Performed by Tommy Fleming
When I was young and I was in my day Sure I'd steal what woman's heart there was away And I'd sing into the dawning So I'd blaze until the morning Long before I was the man you see today And I was born beneath the star that promised all I could have lived my life without Cassandra's call But the wheel of fortune took me From the highest point she shook me By the bottle I live, by the bottle I shall fall | There in the mirror on the wall I see the dream is fading From the contender to the brawl The ring, the rose, the matador, raving And when I die I'll die a drunk down on the street You will count me out to ten in clear defeat Wrap the Starry Plough around me Let the piper's air resound me There I'll rest until the lord of love I meet. |
