《The Knock Song》歌词

[00:00:00] The Knock Song - Christy Moore
[00:00:06] At the early age of thirty-eight me mother said "Go west "
[00:00:10] "Get up" says she "and get a job" says I "I'll do my best"
[00:00:14] I pulled on me Wellingtons to march to Kiltimagh
[00:00:18] But I took a wrong turn in Charlestown and ended up in Knock
[00:00:22] Oh once this quiet crossroads was a place of gentle prayer
[00:00:27] Where Catholics got indulgent once or twice a year
[00:00:31] You could buy a pair of rosary beads or get your candles blessed
[00:00:35] If you had a guilty conscience you could get it off your chest
[00:00:41] Then came the priest from Partry Father Horan was his name
[00:00:45] And since he's been appointed Knock has never been the same
[00:00:49] "B'God" says Jem "'tis eighty years since Mary was about"
[00:00:53] 'Tis time for another miracle " and he blew the candle out
[00:00:57] From Fatima to Bethlehem from Lourdes to Kiltimagh
[00:01:02] There's never been a miracle like the airport up in Knock
[00:01:06] To establish terra firma he drew up a ten year plan
[00:01:11] And started running dances around 1961
[00:01:15] He built a fantabulous church Go h-álainn on the holy ground
[00:01:19] And once he had a focal point he started to expand
[00:01:25] Chip shops and Bed and Breakfasts sprung up over night
[00:01:29] Once a place for quiet retreats now a holy sight
[00:01:33] All sorts of fancy restaurants for every race and creed
[00:01:37] Where black and white and yellow pilgrims all could get a feed
[00:01:42] The stalls once under canvas became religious supermarts
[00:01:44] With such a range o' godly goods they had top twenty charts
[00:01:50] While the airport opposition was destroyed by James' trump card
[00:01:54] For centenary celebrations he got John Paul the twenty-third
[00:01:57] From Fatima to Bethlehem from Lourdes to Kiltimagh
[00:02:01] There's never been a miracle like the airport up in Knock
[00:02:07] 'We had the Blessed virgin here ' Bold Jamesie did declare
[00:02:12] 'And Pope John Paul the twenty-third appeared just over there '
[00:02:16] 'Now do you mean to tell me' he said in total shock
[00:02:20] 'That I am not entitled to an airport here in Knock '
[00:02:24] TD's were lobbied and harassed with talk of promised votes
[00:02:30] And people who'd been loyal for years now spoke of changing coats
[00:02:34] Eternal damnation was threatened on the flock
[00:02:38] Who said it was abortive building airports up in Knock
[00:02:43] Now everyone is happy the miracle is complete
[00:02:47] Father Horan's got his runway it's eighteen thousand feet
[00:02:52] All sorts of planes could land there of that there's little doubt
[00:02:56] Handy for the George Bush to keep knock Gadaffi out
[00:03:00] From Fatima to Bethlehem from Lourdes to Kiltimagh
[00:03:03] There's never been a miracle like the airport up in Knock
[00:03:09] Did NATO donate me boys did NATO donate the dough
[00:03:13] Did NATO donate me Girls did NATO donate the dough
[00:03:17] Did NATO donate the dough the dough did NATO donate the dough
[00:03:21] Eighteen thousand feet of runway is an awful long way to go
