Tekst piosenki
The cadillac stood by the house
And the Yanks they were within
And the tinker boys they hissed advice
'Hot-wire her with a pin'
Then we turned and shook as we had a look
In the room where the dead man lay
So big Jim Dwyer made his last trip
To the shores where his father’s laid
But fifteen minutes later
We had our first taste of whiskey
There was uncles giving lectures
On ancient Irish history
The men all started telling jokes
And the women they got frisky
At five o’clock in the evening
Every bastard there was pissed
And fare thee well going away
There’s nothing left to say
Farewell to New York City boys
To Boston and PA
He took them out
With a well-aimed clout
He was often heard to say
I’m a free born man of the USA
He fought the champ in Pittsburgh
And he slashed him to the ground
He took on Tiny Tartanella
And it only went one round
He never had no time for reds
For drink or dice or whores
And he never threw a fight
Unless the fight was right
So they sent him to the war
Fare the well gone away
There’s nothing left to say
With a slainte Joe and Erin go My love’s in Amerikay
The calling of the rosary
Spanish wine from far away
I’m a free born man of the USA
This morning on the harbour
When I said goodbye to you
I remember how I swore
That I’d come back to you one day
And as the sunset came to meet
The evening on the hill
I told you I’d always love you
I always did an' I always will
Fare thee well gone away
There’s nothing left to say
'cept to say adieu
To your eyes as blue
As the water in the bay
And to big Jim Dwyer
The man of wire
Who was often heard to say
I’m a free born man of the USA
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Cadillac stał przy domu.
A Jankesi byli wewnątrz
I tinker boys oni syczą Rady
"Hot-wire her with a pin"
# Then we turned and shook as we had a look #
In the room where the dead man lay
Wielki Jim Dwyer odbył ostatnią podróż.
To the shores where his father ' s laid
Ale piętnaście minut później
Pierwszy raz skosztowaliśmy whiskey.
Wujkowie wygłaszali wykłady
W sprawie historii starożytnej Irlandii
Mężczyźni zaczęli opowiadać dowcipy.
I kobiety, które mają rozbrykane
O piątej wieczorem
Każdy drań był wkurzony.
And fare thee well going away
There ' s nothing left to say
Pożegnanie z New York City boys
Do Bostonu i PA
Zabrał je.

Często słyszano o nim
I ' m a free born man of the USA
Walczył z mistrzem w Pittsburghu.
I pociął go na ziemię.
# Patrz Tiny Tartanella
I to tylko jedna runda
Nigdy nie miał czasu na czerwone.
Na drinki, kości czy dziwki
I nigdy się nie kłócił.
Chyba, że walka była słuszna.
Więc wysłali go na wojnę.
Fare the well gone away
There ' s nothing left to say
Z slainte Joe i Erin go My love ' s in Amerikay
Wezwanie różańca
Hiszpańskie wino z daleka
I ' m a free born man of the USA
Dziś rano w porcie
When I said goodbye to you
Pamiętam jak przysięgałem
Że kiedyś do ciebie wrócę
I gdy Zachód słońca się spotkał
Wieczór na wzgórzu
Mówiłam ci, że zawsze będę cię kochać.
I always did and I always will
Fare thee well gone away
There ' s nothing left to say
"cept to say adieu
Do Twoich oczu jako niebieskich
Jak woda w zatoce
I za wielkiego Jima Dwyera.
The man of wire
Który często słyszał, by powiedzieć:
I ' m a free born man of the USA
