Such  a big crowd, At the wake  its nice to see,
Here  comes Fr.Michael, hear him say  the Rosery,
Sorry  for your trouble, shake the  hands of family
Trays  of cigarettes, passed  around with cups of tea,
They  said he had it coming, Saw the writing  on the wall,
said  if he had only asked for help, They'd have given  him it all
Cause  a man lives and  a man  dies
I  heard the gossip the hypocryte  prophets
Down  in their graves without blinking  an eye
And  a man dies its  no surprise
they  said he's a loser a drunk and  a boozer
They  slashed him with gun shoppers knifes
 It's true what they say ...................
 When your dead your  great
 When your dead your  great
 Remember how he used to sing, play that old guitar,
 Remember how you sang along, those late nights in the bar,
 Everybody listened, things will never be the same,
 Everybody loved him, every body new his name,
 But when he walked among them, a different song they sang,
 They watched the bottle bleeding, and no-one gave a damn,
 Uillean Pipe solo.
 Plzzzzzz rate this song!!
 Rite lad, gud luck
