Takes two to get together
it takes times to make it last
should we all end up in some ways
like the drink in last night's glass?
but we take this chance together
let's not think about the end
never mind the strangers
'cause i'll always be your friend
until the end
We've crossed the seas together
and we've had our ups and downs
we've gone farther than we ever dreamed
from our county galway town
well if we're on top tomorrow
or if it all just ends
never mind the strangers
'cause i'll always be your friend
until the end
Oh it hasn't all been easy
but sure, that's the way it goes
been shaken, rapped, and ratted
taken jabs and bloody blows
but there's a stength in bein' together
like a steel bar that won't bend
never mind the strangers
'cause i'll always be your friend
until the end
Even now it's hard to think back
when did it all begin?
was it some night drinkin' at gay brown's paul
where me soul is welcomed in
and this fine summer's evening
as the blue of night descends
never mind the strangers
'cause i'll always be your friend
until the end
We've seen the other side o' life
nothin' to impress
doesn't beat a day at home if
you put it to the test
but at least we took the challenge
we didn't just pretend
never mind the strangers
'cause i'll always, always be your friend
until the end
Oh!
Let's have a fair maid!
