And the words from her mouth They're spit straight from hell The tears start flowing And my eyes begin to swell I can't take her home to mother But I guess that's just as well She swears like a sailor and I love her She's young and she is beautiful Her hair is red as fire She loves an Irish rebel song Like The Men Behind The Wire She waits for me when I'm away She greets me with a smile Then throws a blow two feet below For I've been gone awhile In the rain she is my sunshine In the dark she is my light When things seem so uncertain She makes everything alright She cheers and reassures me I can fight a noble fight Then she demonstrates upon my head When I've had too many pints And the words from her mouth They're spit straight from hell The tears start flowing And my eyes begin to swell I can't take her home to mother But I guess that's just as well She swears like a sailor She swears like a sailor She swears like a sailor and I love her A year ago I sailed the seas Trying to get away Over swells and whitecaps And over sailors graves But all the while I was away I longed for dryer land Where she'd meet me with that evil grin And a broomstick in her hand And the words from her mouth They're spit straight from hell The tears start flowing And my eyes begin to swell I can't take her home to mother But I guess that's just as well She swears like a sailor and I love her And the words from her mouth They're spit straight from hell The tears start flowing And my eyes begin to swell I can't take her home to mother But I guess that's just as well She swears like a sailor She swears like a sailor She swears like a sailoooooooor And I love her
