THE RAMSHACKLE ARMY LYRICS

"Fire Is Burning"

Oh I love songs of whiskey and I love songs of porter
And I love dancing with a maiden long into the night
Well this day’s met its end and the fire is burning
Oh Lord I will love every minute you leave me alive

Well this time was only given to a handful of souls
And land to even less and freedoms here are rarely known
So in these dying days I draw attention please
To every grace found in this place
Life is my hearts decree

Oh I love songs of whiskey and I love songs of porter
And I love dancing with a maiden long into the night
Well this day’s met its end and the fire is burning
Oh Lord I will love every minute you leave me alive

There’s joy in honest labour when the sun calls it to cease
and hobnail boots are loosened
And you can sit with friend and feast
There’s warmth in smiles stolen from a publicans betrothed
But they’re nothing like the fire from the one’s you’ve left at home

Oh I love songs of whiskey and I love songs of porter
And I love dancing with a maiden long into the night
Well this day’s met its end and the fire is burning
Oh Lord I will love every minute you leave me alive

Well this body I am in has a life expectancy of eighty years, one wife, three kids
A gold watch in the pear tree
If we are owed anything in life I cannot see
So I’ll take every chance I get and I’ll meet you home for tea

Oh I love songs of whiskey and I love songs of porter
And I love dancing with a maiden long into the night
Well this day’s met its end and the fire is burning
Oh Lord I will love every minute you leave me alive
