I had no idea. It's not fun not knowing stuff. Thank you for teaching me something today. Funny thing is I did a quick search and it seemed like he was the original author.. well done friend

Albert Niland

They laid out the body, in the peaceful pagan home To pay their last respects , all the neighbours came along In the wee hours of the mornin' pagan words from the whiskey still Fallin' from the bushes, sworn enemies are friends again Someone spilled porter on the corpse in the middle of a song And the stories kept on comin' back from 1941 Chorus: Sail on ,sail on, Jimmy Sail on, Jimmy boy Sail on , sail on, Jimmy From this Irish Pagan Ritual Mad Mary from the crossroads, grabbed my arse for all to see "I'll tell your fortune, Scoby, if you come on home with me" "In the name of god now, Mary, some respect for the dead! You can't be grabbin' arses, at a pagan ritual!" Chorus: Sail on, sail on Jimmy etc Father Tim is tellin' Tommy how the Israelites came in And Tommy's atein' sandwiches that are pilled up next to him Someone started singing a Revenge for Skibbereen There's a french lad there translatin' for the next door neighbours daughter Jean-Louis, and lovely Angeline Chorus: Sail on, sail on Jimmy etc In the wee hours of the mornin' we were howlin' at the moon When the mystic wind took Jimmy way up to the mystic room Up up up up up he's gone in peace to save us all Gone with a mystic blessin' from the peaceful pagan ritual Chorus x 2

these lyrics change a tiny bit depending on which live version you listen to. :) They also differ from the original writer Albert Niland , as Christy puts his own stamp on the song, enjoy!

I play it capo on 3 and a mix G Cadd9 D, I play it slightly quicker than Christy's version.

Great! Thanks a lot Dean! Much appreciated!

No problem Jan, happy to help, saw Christy perform this last night,it's a fantastic song,just in the middle of trying to learn it myself.

You're welcome. Christy confirmed these were the correct lyrics even though I was unsure of a couple of the words lol

@@deanedgar5286 Thanks again Dean! I already did put the text in my song program Chordpro Buddy. I can play the song but didn't had the lyrics (until now). I know the Albert Niland version of this song and that's the one I play. A lot of succes learning this song Dean!
