[00:00.000] (为纪念爱尔兰科克郡传奇拳击手Jack Doyle)
[00:10.000] When i was young and I was in my day
[00:17.000] I could steal what women's heart there was a way
[00:25.000] I sing and dance into the morning
[00:29.000] I blaze a way until the dawning
[00:33.000] Long before I was the man you see today
[00:40.000] And I was born beneath the star that promised it all
[00:47.000] I could have lived my life between Cork Cobh and Youghal
[00:55.000] But the wheel of fortune took me
[00:58.000] From the highest point she shook me
[01:02.000] By the bottle live by the bottle i shall fall
[01:09.000] And there in the mirror on the wall
[01:16.000] I see the dream is fading
[01:23.000] From the contender to the brawl
[01:31.000] The ring, the rose, the matador, is raving
[01:40.000] And when I die I'll die a drunk down on the street
[01:47.000] You can count me out to ten in clear defeat
[01:55.000] Warp the stars ploughing around me
[01:58.000] And let the pipers in air resound me
[02:03.000] There I'll rest until the Lord of love I meet
[02:09.000] And there in the mirror on the wall
[02:17.000] I see the dream is fading
[02:23.000] From the contender to the brawl
[02:31.000] The ring, the rose, the matador, is raving
[02:55.000] Oh warp the stars that ploughing around me
[02:59.000] And let the pipers in air resound me
[03:03.000] There I'll rest until the Lord of love I meet
