Lyrics of Ststephen's day murders
The Chieftains
I knew of two sisters whose name it was christmas
And one was named dawn of course, the other one was named eve
I wonder if they grew up hating the season
Of the good will that lasts till the feast of st. stephen
For that is the time to eat, drink and be merry
'til the beer is all spilled and the whiskey is flowed
And the whole family tree you neglected to bury
Are feeding their faces until they explode
(chorus:)
There'll be laughter and tears over tia marias
Mixed up with that drink made from girders
And it's all we've got left as you draw your last breath
And it's nice for the kids as you've finally got rid of them
In the st stephen's day murders
Uncle is garglin' a heart-breaking air
While the babe in his arms pulls out all that remains of his hair
And we're not drunk enough yet to dare criticize
The great big kipper tie he's about to baptize
His gin-flavoured whispers and kisses of sherry
His best crimble shirt flung out over the shop
While the lights from the christmas tree blow up the telly
His face closes in like an old cold pork chop
(alternate chorus:)
And the carcass of the beast left over from the feast
May still be found haunt in the kitchen
And there's life in it yet we may live to regret
When the ones that we poisoned stop twitchin'
(regular chorus repeat)
