Five Points

D'ya remember back in the Five Points

When the fire was in the air

The streets were hot as a hob of Hell

The bodies' everywhere

An' Ol' Johnny jumped up on a burning plank

Roared out to the sky

"I didn't come here to America

To give up the ghost and die"

I didn't come here to America

Across the raging foam

To die like a slave in a pig sty

I came here to find a home

Where I could live in dignity

And hold me head up high

So don't go messing with me or me family

Or I'll blow these Five Points to the sky

Soldier boys are running wild

Down by the Gates of Hell

I must get to St Patrick's

Ring the warning bell

I won't join the bloody army

Sooner burn down Kerosene Row

So to Hell with your kings and your presidents

Let them fight their own bloody wars oh

Didn't come here to America

Across the raging foam

To die like a slave in a pig sty

I came here to find a home

Where I could live in dignity

And hold me head up high

So don't go messing with me or me family

Or I'll blow these Five Points to the sky

Don't say you love me

Unless you really do

I haven't got time to be wasting

On the likes of you

Don't say you'll sleep with me

Unless you'll follow through

Them bully boys are closing in

They'll be cracking heads for the price of gin

But you better look out

'Cause here come the Boys in Green

D'ya remember back in the Five Points

When the fire was in the air

Streets were hot as the hob of Hell

The bodies' everywhere

Ol' Johnny stood up on a burning plank

And he roared out to the sky

‽I didn't come here to America

To give up the ghost and die”

I didn't come here to America

Across the raging foam

To die like a slave in a pig sty

I came here to find a home

Where I could live in dignity

And hold me head up high

So don't go messing with me or me family

Or I'll blow these Five Points to the sky

So don't go messing with me or me family

Or I'll blow these Five Points to the sky
