'Twas up the Bluestack MountainsD'arcy kept a bit of a stillWe were sneaking home a bottleWhen the guards came up the hill?Lose the booze,? cried D'arcyAnd before we could replyHe'd dumped it in the nosebagOf his donkey standing byThe donkey had a ganky legAnd only one good eyeWhen he got a lick of the whiskeyYou'd swear that he could flyHe rocketed through the roundaboutAnd down by Jamesie's BarThen he vaulted through the hedgesAt the track at BallintraHere's to you, to me and one and allTo the garda and the gargle and the trophy on the wallHere's to you, to me and one and allThe day that D'arcy's drunken donkey won the race at Donegal Well, the gardaí chased the donkeyAnd we followed in pursuitFor fear they'd spill the whiskeyWe begged them not to shootSongtexteWe barreled through the turnstilesWe got there just in time,To place our bets before the lot of themReached the starting lineThe flag was up, the race was onThe donkey looked behind, uhHe saw the guards were after himBut sure, he didn't mindHe had himself another sipAnd a second one as wellThen bucked and kickedAnd knocked the competition all to hellHere's to you, to me and one and allTo the garda and the gargle and the trophy on the wallHere's to you, to me and one and allThe day that D'arcy's drunken donkey won the race at DonegalWell, the donkey passed the postAbout a lap or two aheadHe finished off the whiskeyAnd then toppled over deadWe went to check the bets and foundWhen everything was doneThe garda came in secondAnd paid 35 to oneSo we dragged the donkey's carcassDown to Jamesie's for a pintTo drink up all our winningsAnd to celebrate the nightWe missed the poor old donkeyBut still we had to laughWhen Jamesie made a trophyOf the donkey's better halfSo raise a beer in the air to the famous derriereEverybody raise a glass to D'arcy's ass, D'arcy's assEverybody raise a glass to D'arcy's ass, D'arcy's assHere's to you, to me and one and allTo the garda and the gargle and the trophy on the wallHere's to you, to me and one and allThe day that D'arcy's drunken donkey won the race at DonegalThe day that D'arcy's drunken donkey won the race at DonegalYoo Aus Songtexte Mania
