Lyrics of Janey Mac Im Nearly Forty by The Wolfe Tones
Well, I′ve been singing most my lifetime
Of Rockall, Strong Men and Botany Bay;
Singing songs of love and hope and freedom
While time has slowly slipped away.
Have you noticed the policemen getting younger?
And the busmen, they're getting younger too.
While all my friends are getting older,
I have stayed the same, you know, it′s true.
And, Janie Mac, I'm nearly forty.
I think my hair is turning grey.
I'll be on the pension very shortly,
And how I long for yesterday!
We′re so long together it′s a record.
We should be in the Guinness Book of Fame.
For twenty-one long years we've been together,
And just for spite, we′ll do the same again.
But there's silver threads in Tom′s whiskers,
And Derek with the beard, he's getting bald.
While though he′s getting kind of grumpy,
While I, I'm not just getting old.
And, Janie Mac, I'm nearly forty.
I think my hair is turning grey.
I′ll be on the pension very shortly,
And how I long for yesterday!
So all you knockers and begrudgers
You will admit we have that touch of class.
If not, we′ll send you our new record
And you can stick it up your...
And, Janie Mac, I'm nearly forty.
I think my hair is turning grey.
I′ll be on the pension very shortly,
And how I long for yesterday!
