Lyrics

My name is sean mcgann from the county tyrone
I've got whiskey for blood and I've got fists made of stone
I made my own way from the tenement to the ring
And when I knocked them out oh how the crowds they did sing

Chorus:
I'll fight for my honor, I'll fight for my pride
I'll keep on fighting 'till the day that I die
And when I've gone and left this world behind
They'll still sing the praises of the irish combine
Hey!

I fought my first fight at the age of sixteen
The foe he was tough, I had it rought but the money it was green
You may not like it, but try to understand
When there's no food on the table you've got to do what you can

Chorus

One by one they came and they all took their shot
One boy one they fell and a lesson they were taught
In the ring and on the street I was put to the test
After all was said and done they said I was the best

Chorus
