lirik lagu robbie o’connell - ham sunday

[verse 1]
’twas back in the year of 1932
that a great event happened in carrick~on~suir
where a big match was planned for the new davin park
kerry and tipp were the teams to take part
while the news of this match was carried all around
they thought droves of people would flock to the town
and the word it came down from the gaa club
there’d be thousands of people all looking for grub

[verse 2]
and everyone thought here’s a chance to get rich
wе could make a small fortune on an old ham sandwich
we could chargе what we want and it wouldn’t be hard
there’d be so many here there all bound to be starved
so butchers and bakers got busy straight off
to make sure everyone would have more than enough
and the valley was full not of reels or of jigs
but the smell of fresh bread and the squealing of pigs

[verse 3]
and when the great day at last came around
an air of excitement pervaded the town
while the brass band was out and they marched through the park
just waiting for someone to signal a start
there was look outs and runners and great agitation
to warn when the first train pulled into the station
there were signs up all over proclaiming quite clear
the best ham sandwiches are on sale here
[verse 4]
oh the streets were all full as the tension it rose
the men were all out in their best sunday clothes
with the children waiting this great sight to see
while the women stayed home boiling kettles for tea
there was one poor man full of such antic~p~tion
when he heard what he thought were the sounds of invasion
that he stumbled and fell down the stairs in a fright
but it was only some farmer in parking his bike

[verse 5]
oh they’re coming, they’re coming, someone cried they’re here
and the people got ready to raise a loud cheer
what no one understood and what no one could explain
when only two people stepped off of the train
so they waited around ’till the next train came in
and they couldn’t believe it was empty again
then the most of them left and went off to a pub
to decide about what they would do with the grub

[verse 6]
while they argued all day ’till the match it was over
about what they ought to do with the leftovers
and they were agreed it was a wicked disgrace
every dog in the town had a smile on his face
it was hams in the pantries and hams in the shelves
it was said that some people made pigs of themselves
there was still loads of ham and a week had gone by
but not even a dog could look one in the eye
[verse 7]
and now to conclude and to finish this song
for i’m sure i’ve already been singing too long
every song has a moral, of that there’s no doubt
and this one’s no exception i’m sure you’ll find out
so remember ham sunday, it could be your salvation
make sure you’re not caught in the same situation
for it’s all very well being prepared that i known
but you’re better off cutting it close to the bone
