Lyrics

Well, my father was a drunkard, my step-ma was a nag And life in the streets of Dublin was nothing about to brag With the work nights getting longer and hunger on the breeze Met a carny from Killarney and he sang these words to me Hey-ho, Billy Beas, where you want to be? Jump the ship to Boston, fight the Yankees in the ring Hey-ho, Billy Beas, where you want to be? Jump the ship to Boston, fight the Yankees in the ring Well, I grew up as a fighter, my teacher were the streets And the taste of blood in your mouth was never out of reach These fists were made of iron but never made to steal So I followed the words of the carny to Boston on his seal Hey-ho, Billy Beas, where you want to be? Jump the ship to Boston, fight the Yankees in the ring Hey-ho, Billy Beas, where you want to be? Jump the ship to Boston, fight the Yankees in the ring Are you ready to jump, Dublin? Here we go! Jump! One more time Jump! So I slept under bridges and I jumped a train or three An honest day's work won't take a bite like me I surely couldn't dance and hell if I could sing But I'd pistol-whip a Yankee if he'd put me in the ring Hey-ho, Billy Beas, where you want to be? Jump the ship to Boston, fight the Yankees in the ring Hey-ho, Billy Beas, where you want to be? Jump the ship to Boston, fight the Yankees in the ring Oh, come on, Dublin Sing it! Jump! Jump! Well, the brawlin' turned to fightin', the bruises turned to gold The hunger turned to pride as the wins began to roll I'd hang about the carny who sang that distant chord "Now go and fight the Yankees, you'll be champion of the world" Hey-ho, Billy Beas, where you want to be? Jump the ship to Boston, fight the Yankees in the ring Hey-ho, Billy Beas, where you want to be? Jump the ship to Boston, fight the Yankees in the ring Hey-ho, Billy Beas, where you want to be? Jump the ship to Boston, fight the Yankees in the ring Hey-ho, Billy Beas, where you want to be? Jump the ship to Boston, fight the Yankees in the ring
