Limerick City Lyrics

Limerick city I survived

Portlaoise prison is occupied

Limerick city I survived

Portlaoise prison is occupied

Just another Irish boy running from the law, in a town full of smokers

Where fun was knocking jaws

But he took the kids from school

From English land she was charmed like a fool

We lived with mice who ran the farm, she rolled the dice for love and she got harmed

Days, no food, 3 young kids what a risk

She had to take

Missed their dad and England too

Is this love that she's been through

Limerick city I survived

Portlaoise prison is occupied

Limerick city I survived

Portlaoise prison is occupied

Just another English girl running from a broken heart

On the promise of new love it was doomed from the start

All she wanted was a family

Stability for herself and the 3

When the lad was arrested she dragged her tail

Across burnt bridges to England's end

I admire the woman who raised those kids she made mistakes and struggled through the tears

Every city she survived

She made mistakes but she's still alive

Every city we survived

We make mistakes but we're still alive

One more time

Limerick city I survived

Portlaoise prison is occupied
