May the wind be always at your back And the sun shine warm upon your face May the rains fall soft upon your field Until the day we meet again
And the roof that hangs over your head Find you shelter from the storm
Before the devil knows you're dead May you be in heaven, my friend
May good luck find you at your worst And bad love lose you at your best May your days be rich and full of wealth And your nights be long when you need rest
And the roof that hangs over your head Find you shelter from the storm
Before the devil knows you're dead May you be in heaven, my friend
And the road, may it rise to meet your feet And be downhill all the way to your door May the grass below be green and the sky above be blue May it be so forever more
And the roof that hangs over your head Find you shelter from the storm
Before the devil knows you're dead May you be in heaven, my friend
