When the sun goes down O'er Dublin town the colours last for hours, oh The lights come on, the nights a song, and the streets all turn to gold A gentle mist called heaven's kiss, like teardrops off an angels wing And don't you know you'll cleanse your soul With a walk in the Irish Rain Chorus Oh Katherine take my hand I've got three Pounds and change and I'll sing you songs of love again and when I get too drunk to sing we'll walk in the Irish Rain Forever more I'll step the shore, my sailing days are over, oh Time and tide and by your side together we'll grow old. I threw my sea bag in the bin and brought these pretty flowers home Kiss me Kate we'll celebrate before the bloom is gone Chorus A tinker and a tailor and a drunken old sailor They all get together and they start to play Time stands still while they sing their fill Oh shout to the break of day A sweet little lady with a glass of stout Sipping it down till the foam runs out She'll help her old man home again with a walk in the Irish Rain Chorus Chorus
