Say a Prayer On Sunday

On the streets of this city
 Just as the day was breakin'
 The baskers and the beggars
 Are counting out their takings
 And the whores in the doorways
 Stand effortlessly waiting
 As I gather up me blankets
 And shelter from the rain
 Oh, say a prayer on Sunday
 As they put me in the ground
 I'll see you in the boozer
 And we'll have another round
 Oh, with Porter and strong whiskey
 You can drink a toast to me
 And kiss a maiden on the cheek
 'Cause you remember me
 I don't care for your bleeding hearts
 You've never lost your liberty
 I don't care where you come from
 Be it Sligo, Cork or Kerry
 Give me smoke and strong whiskey
 'Cause I led a life of Reilly
 And when you meet your Maker
 Say a prayer for me
 Oh, say a prayer on Sunday
 As they put me in the ground
 I'll see you in the boozer
 And we'll have another round
 Oh, with Porter and strong whiskey
 You can drink a toast to me
 And kiss a maiden on the cheek
 'Cause you remember me
 'Twas on a Monday morning
 They took me to the courthouse
 I stood before the jury
 As they looks down on me
 And as the judge passed sentence
 He banged his bloody gavel
 "Take him down and hang him!"
 Was all he said to me
 Oh, say a prayer on Sunday
 As they put me in the ground
 I'll see you in the boozer
 And we'll have another round
 Oh, with Porter and strong whiskey
 You can drink a toast to me
 And kiss a maiden on the cheek
 'Cause you remember me
 ♪
 As the gallows wait for me
 The hangman's rope is ready
 I'll think of you me darlin'
 As I begin to fall
 And on some Yankee clipper
 I see you sail away
 To find yourself a true love in America
 Oh, say a prayer on Sunday
 As they put me in the ground
 I'll see you in the boozer
 And we'll have another round
 Oh, with Porter and strong whiskey
 You can drink a toast to me
 And kiss a maiden on the cheek
 'Cause you remember me
 Oh, say a prayer on Sunday
 As they put me in the ground
 I'll see you in the boozer
 And we'll have another round
 Oh, with Porter and strong whiskey
 You can drink a toast to me
 And kiss a maiden on the cheek
 'Cause you remember me
 And kiss a maiden on the cheek
 As you remember me
