When the sun goes down o'er Dublin town

The colors last for hours, oh

The lights come on, the night's a song

And the streets all turn to gold.



A gentle mist all heaven kissed

Like teardrops off an angel's wing

Don't you know you'll cleanse your soul

With a walk in the Irish rain.



Cho: Oh, Katherine, take my hand

I've got three pounds and change

And I'll sing you songs of love again

And when I get too drunk to sing

We'll walk in the Irish rain.



Forever more I've stepped ashore

My sailing days are over, oh

Through time and tide and by your side

Together we'll grow old.



I threw my sea bag in the bin

And brought these pretty flowers home

Kiss me Kate, we'll celebrate

Before the bloom is gone.



A tinker and a tailor and a drunken old sailor

They all get together and they start to play

Time stands still while they sing their fill

They'll shout 'til the break of day.



A sweet little lady with a glass of stout

Sippin' it down 'til the foam runs out

She'll help her old man home again

With a walk in the Irish rain.
