 I'm tired Joey Boy

 While you're out with the sheep

 My life is so troubled

 Now I can't go to sleep

 I would walk myself out

 But the streets are so dark

 I shall wait till the morning

 And walk in the park

 This life is so simple

 When one is at home

 And I'm never complaining

 When there's work to be done

 Oh I'm tired Joey Boy of the makings of men

 I would like to be cheerful again

Ambition will take you

And ride you too far and

Conservatism bring you to boredom once more

Sit down by the river

And watch the stream flow

Recall all the dreams

That you once used to know

The things you've forgotten

That took you away

To pastures not greener but meaner

Love of the simple is all that I need

I've no time for schism or lovers of greed

Go up to the mountain, go up to the glen

When silence will touch you

And heartbreak will mend.
