lyrics

JOHN IRELAND
(Bill Carter - Blame Music BMI)



john ireland, john ireland how i hate that name
was in the winter of 82, you stold my sara jane
beneath a diamond christmas sky, her precious
heart you won
i cried out loud to that rainbow halo around the
sun

john ireland, john ireland i'll haunt your dirty
soul
you only took my first true love, because i wanted
her so
when that morning factory whistle wails, i'll lay by
the lowman bridge
i'll throw your body to the waters below and fade
into the larsondale ridge

john ireland, john ireland you made a killer of me
it was all for the love of a dear little girl
my heart burned with jealousy
they'll never know i was the one, not a trace i'll
leave anywhere
and i'll spend my life beside my love, the one with
the strawberry hair

john ireland, john ireland, how i hate that name
