HILLS OF CONNEMARA 

GATHER UP THE POTS AND THE OLD TIN CANS
THE MASH THE THE CORN THE BARLEY AND THE BRAN
RUN LIKE HELL FROM THE EXISE MAN
KEEP THE SMOKE FROM RISING BARNEY

SWING TO THE LEFT SWING TO THE RIGHT
THE EXCISE MEN WILL DANCE ALL NIGHT
DRINKING UP THE TAY TILL THE BROAD DAYLIGHT
IN THE HILLS OF CONNEMARA

GATHER UP THE POTS AND THE OLD TIN CANS
THE MASH THE THE CORN THE BARLEY AND THE BRAN
RUN LIKE HELL FROM THE EXISE MAN
KEEP THE SMOKE FROM RISING BARNEY

A GALLON FOR THE BUTCHER A QUART FOR TOM
A BOTTLE FOR POOR OLD FATHER JOHN
TO HELP THE POOR OLD DEAR ALONG
IN THE HILLS OF CONNEMARA

GATHER UP THE POTS AND THE OLD TIN CANS
THE MASH THE THE CORN THE BARLEY AND THE BRAN
RUN LIKE HELL FROM THE EXISE MAN
KEEP THE SMOKE FROM RISING BARNEY

STAND YOUR GROUND OH ITS TOO LATE
THE EXCISE MEN ARE AT THE GATE
GLORY BE TO PADDY THEY’RE DRINKING IT NATE
IN THE HILLS OF CONNEMARA

GATHER UP THE POTS AND THE OLD TIN CANS
THE MASH THE THE CORN THE BARLEY AND THE BRAN
RUN LIKE HELL FROM THE EXISE MAN
KEEP THE SMOKE FROM RISING BARNEY

GATHER UP THE POTS AND THE OLD TIN CANS
THE MASH THE THE CORN THE BARLEY AND THE BRAN
