Farewell, my friend, hello
There's just no other way
For me to say it isn't so
I'll see you again one day
So long, farewell, how are you
Until we meet again
I know that you'll be waiting
We'll have two or three or ten
Where the ocean waves they gently kiss the shoreline
Where there's guinness stew and shepherd's pie
Where all things lead you to the cliffs in Donegal
Where the strings don't break and the car it never stalls
Where the barman never learns to say "last call"
Farewell, my friend, how goes it
Have you seen our friends gone by
With the band all back together
We'll have American Pie
When you get to where you're going
Give my regards to the brothers Quinn
Keep the good times rollin'
Where the Irish always win
Where "Joanne's" real name is safe to sing and the bathroom cups are Chad's
Where the nights are long and the eleventh room is loaded with the lads
Where the craic is always mighty and the pay is never little
Where Katie never sits on Patsy's fiddle
Where the car breaks down and the highway's blocked and the show, it starts at three
Where the church has disco's, Jello shots.. it was heaven for this rookie
Where there's Guinness stew and shepherd's pie
Where the ocean waves they beat the shit out of the shoreline
Where all things lead you to the cliffs of Donegal
Where your ballads echo down every single hall
Where we always get together in the fall
Where the barman never learns to say "last call"
I know we'll meet again, my friend
We'll have two or three or ten, my friend
You can help me with the singing of this song
Where the barman never learns to say "last call"
Until then, my friend, you know you have us all
Wanting you here with us for one last call
