The Elders Celtic

Australia
From Adelaide to Arklow she carried out her quest A shrine with many trophies on the wall Every night she ran her traps from the east to the west Like a legionnaire sent off to fight the war She called it a blessing she called it a curse Madonnas and her amulets she wore She followed her Magellans to the edge of the earth But Rathfarnam was as far as she could fall
Australia did she say she was from Australia they thought she was the one She could work the room with Danny boys That she was shinin' on I give her six months and she'll be gone
She fell for the line about the holy water Hook line and sinker boat deck dock and pier Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com She thought a misadventure would make it all real But she didn't know she had to close the deal He was the great persuader with time on his hands He was money with a suitcase waitin' for a train To take him back to Dublin so she asked about his plans And when would she see him again
The next one had some tales about some nuns and a dog They walked along the levee by the bay Some whisky and a chipper all they're lookin' for And a fiddler to take them all the way But she lived every day for the hour on the stage Singin' Al Jolson for the sailors If the drummer copped a kick she would show a little leg To the Stuka boys who crashed into their prayers
