D-DU-UDU
Well  oh well I'm back in the county hell
 I just  flew in and my arms they feel like hell
I'm  so glad to be  back in the county hell
 I missed  the smack, I missed the crack, I missed the killings too
 I missed  the London Irish girls but  especially missed you
 The USA  never fails to make me blue
 Put me  in charge I?d execute the Artistic  Queers
 and all  the fuckin bastards that drink trendy  Irish beers
 My death  squads would be kids from flats all high  from sniffing glue
I'd  use them to kill  rich brits and the high city jews.
 The park  bench Aristrocrats were drinking  in the park
 And the junkies  are still sneaking in for fix  up after dark
 And Jock  laid out on his park bench like it was  his home settee
Singing  like a fallen  angel, me and Bobby McGee
 When I've done  my patriotic chore and burnt London to the ground
 I'll go back  home to Nenagh and get pissed every night in town
 Like the ol'  folks say, you can't  keep a good man down
 And the park  bench Aristrocrats still drinking  in the park
 The junkies  are still sneaking in for fix  up after dark
Jock's  still layed out on his park bench like it was  his own settee
Singing  like a fallen  angel, me and Bobby McGee
Freedom's  just another word for nothing  left to lose
Nothin  ain't worth nothin  if ain't free
Feelin  good was easy Lord when Bobby  sang the blues
Feelin  good was good  enough for me
Good  enough for me  and Bobby McGee
