Intro

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
Chorus
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
Intro
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,
Chorus
Uillean Pipe solo.
Plzzzzzz rate this song!!
Rite lad, gud luck
