When the sun goes down o'er Dublin town
The colours last for hours, oh
The lights come on and the night's a song
And the streets all turn to gold
A gentle mist all heaven kissed
Like a teardrop off an angel's wing
Don't you know you'll cleanse your soul
With a walk in the Irish rain
Oh, Katherine, take my hand
I've got three pounds and change
And I'll sing you a song of love again
When I get too drunk to sing
We'll walk in the Irish rain
Forever more I've stepped ashore
My sailing days are over, oh
Time and tide by your side
Together we'll grow old
I threw my sea bag in the bin
And brought those pretty flowers home
Kiss me, Kate, we'll celebrate
Before the bloom is gone
Oh, Katherine, take my hand
I've got three pounds and change
And I'll sing you a song of love again
When I get too drunk to sing
We'll walk in the Irish rain
A tinker and a tailor and a drunken old sailor
They all get together and they start to play
Time stands still while they sing their fill
They shout till the break of day
A sweet little lady with a glass of stout
Sippin' it down till the foam runs out
She'll help her old man home again
With a walk in the Irish rain
Oh, Katherine, take my hand
I've got three pounds and change
And I'll sing you songs of love again
When I get too drunk to sing
We'll walk in the Irish rain
Oh, Katherine, take my hand
I've got three pounds and change
And I'll sing you songs of love again
When I get too drunk to sing
We'll walk in the Irish rain
We'll walk in the Irish rain
