So Do I - Christy Moore

This is the day the fisherman likes

And so do I

When the rain puts a shine on the chestnut spikes

Hear the curlews cry

The nightingale sings her best

We’ll drink a pint in hamiltons rest

And the girl I love wore a muslin dress

The fisherman dream of the sun in the west

And so do I

And so do I

Now I can see

Since the girl I love dearly

Has cast her loving spell on me

This is the day the cuckoo likes

And so do I

When the hills fall down in different shapes

And the swallows fly

To a hidden beach where boats can’t go

Mountain rivers overflow

I hear the squealin' of the seagulls

As off home they go

And so do I

And so do I

Now I can see

Since the girl I love dearly

Has cast her loving spell on me

I’ll cross the seven oceans

Forever more I’ll wander

'Till she has cast her loving spell on me

This is the day the fisherman likes

And so do I

When the rain puts a shine on the chestnut spikes

Hear the curlews cry

The nightingale sings her best

We’ll drink a pint in hamiltons rest

And the girl I love wore a muslin dress

The fishermen dream of the sum in the west

And so do I

And so do I

And so do I

And so do I
