Oh, I wish I were in Charlies
on a Cold Cork Christmas Eve
Eamonn, Dave and Majella
Sure, I ‘d have no wish to leave
Good Friends surround the gentle sound
Sweet Harmony in tune
And in my heart
The one I love still sleeps beneath The Moon
Craig and Tom write postcards
Ask that man called Tex
“Is it going to snow?
Do you know
what the band are playing next?”
I love the festive lights
On Oliver Plunkett Street
As I hustle my way from the Sin e
My love and I to meet
Crossing Parnell Place and Bridge
From The Ashes of the Phoenix rise
To the warming glow in Charlies Stove
Keeping me alive
Good Friends surround the gentle sound
Sweet Harmony in tune
And in my heart
The one I love still sleeps beneath The Moon
Oh, I wish I were in Charlies!
On a Cold Cork Christmas Eve!
Instrumental Break
So remember me to Charlies
For I’ll go there nevermore
No more those carefree, crazy nights
Inside old Charlies door
So raise your glass and sing your song
To the heart that yearns for thee
Your charm
Your grace
Your warm embrace
Sweet Charlies
By The Lee
Oh, I wish I were in Charlies!
