Lyrics
I?m so weary
I long for that other side
Oh, Seamus, let heaven claim us
Don?t ya miss yer ol? bride?
Once I was young and uncertain
Then Seamus, ya livened me life
Ya wooed me with smilin? and flirtin?
Then Cork knew no happier wife
We walked hand in hand
Down along the ol? strand
And I made ya a man in that glen
Please save me a place up in heaven
I want to be happy again
Sometimes I get lonesome and crazy
I feel you?re still here in the pub
Holdin? me peaceful and lazy
Or givin? me poor feet a rub
I wish you could hear me
And somehow be near me
Or turn back the years to back then
Please save me a place up in heaven
I want to be happy again
Why?d you go away?
Am I supposed to pray?
If you run into God
Tell Him He?s one cruel ol? sod
Seamus, yer famous fer riddles
So riddle me out of this mess
(looks over to where the band usually plays)
I?m tired of whistles and fiddles
I?m tired of life, I confess
You?re me other half
So I ask for a laugh
Is me rooster still after his hen?
Please save me a place up in heaven
I want to be happy again
Please save me a place up in heaven
Oh, Seamus,
I want to be happy again
