Boys Be Home

At five o'clock the bell will ring And then the beer'll be near We'll drop our fears and raise our cheers And drink 'til mornin' dawn When the boys be home again Yes, the boys be home again Oh, the boys be home again My father told me Son, work hard And then you'll have your share But I'm still waitin' for my riches In my pot of gold For that I do not care Not much I have, I swear But this drink with you I'll share At five o'clock the bell will ring And then the beer'll be near We'll drop our fears and raise our cheers And drink 'til mornin' dawn When the boys be home again Yes, the boys be home again Oh, the boys be home again They say home is a family With spirits who all love I hold my lover with a fist And raise her for a kiss Inside this waterin' hole In the presence of my boys In the presence of my home At five o'clock the bell will ring And then the beer'll be near We'll drop our fears and raise our cheers And drink 'til mornin' dawn When the boys be home again Yes, the boys be home again Oh, the boys be home again I am Irish, I am proud Yeah, I've been beaten down Hit me once, I'll hit you twice And then it will be clear Oh I will still be here Standing with no fear Then I'll give you some my beer At five o'clock the bell will ring And then the beer'll be near We'll drop our fears and raise our cheers And drink 'til mornin' dawn When the boys be home again Yes, the boys be home again Oh, the boys be home again
