Lyrics:

There's a band tonight down in Shamrock City,

Where the girls of Limerick are much too pretty;

Joe Cooley's Reel on accordion,

Like the blues with the touch of O'Carolan.

Livin' on the edge,

Livin' on the edge,

On the edge of the Shamrock City.

There's a band tonight down in Shamrock City,

On the banks of the Hudson, the Thames, and the Liffey;

Some are sober wearing Pioneer pins,

Some drink like fish you can see their fins.

Livin' on the edge,

Livin' on the edge,

On the edge of the Shamrock City.

[Interlude]

There's a band tonight down in Shamrock City,

Young man, this is Mikey — Hey! Have you seen Kitty?

My love she sailed across the foam,

I ain't had no lover since she's been gone.

Livin' on the edge,

Livin' on the edge,

On the edge of the Shamrock City.

Livin' on the edge,

Livin' on the edge,

On the edge of the Shamrock City.

There's a band tonight down in Shamrock City,

They all play for nothing so put something in the kitty;

I threw up with a wolfhound's bark

Threw it a bone, it took me to heart

Livin' on the edge,

Livin' on the edge,

On the edge of the Shamrock City.

Livin' on the edge,

Livin' on the edge,

On the edge of the Shamrock City.

Livin' on the edge,

Livin' on the edge,

On the edge of the Shamrock City.

There's a band tonight down in Shamrock City.

I am loving this song! It is fun and reminds me a bit of the 70's rock protests for some odd reason, it just gives me that vibe. And, the lyrics are simple and are great to sing when you are doing work, doesn't take to much of my mental capacity to sing by memory!

Eric MacEwan (East Coast radio show, Canada) at least 10 yrs ago intro'd the song - but by accident said, "We're headed down to the Shamrock Shi**y."

The Bar was named after this song. The tune was heard by the Irish Decedents while tour years ago and they decided to cover it....and years later the bar opened
