Met him on the Killorglin road Thinking mine was a heavy load Said to stop and rest awhile Long enough to find your smile Said I don't know this and I don't know that But I know what's under Willie Goggin's hat chorus: And if it ain't broke don't fix it But how many of us ain't broke And how many of us ain't died A thousand broken hearted lives? And how many of us, amen Ain't got a broken heart to mend? And I may be a tinker and I may be a fool But I'll fix anything as good as new I can fix anything but the golden rule For gold can only fill a tooth Long as I've got the price of a pint My hands are rough but I can sleep at night I learned years ago and years since then There's no such thing as a common man Don't work for pay, get paid for work And on the day I forgot these words SongtexteI lost the play and I played a part And I lost the gift of a golden heart There are those that always buy things new And those that always must make do Here's to Mary-Margaret and Maureen And all the folks from Cahirciveen Who'd give you the shirt off their back And gave me Willie Goggin's hat Aus Songtexte Mania
