The band was started by front man Shayne in 2003 and they are a hard drinking, working band still going strong today. They strive to preserve the sound of their roots and pay tribute to the bands before them. This was evident when they released their first album Drunk Rock in 2005 which featured many original songs mixing traditional Celtic, bluegrass, punk, and metal. They have created a very unique intense sound that people describe as more folk than most modern music and more punk than most popular music. Now they are at it again with the release of their most recent album Auld St. Patrick on St. Patrick's Day 2011.

The Bloody Irish Boys Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember when I was about 12 years old
I said daddyo wont you give me a cold one
He got me my beer and he got me my rum
Back in those days we had some fun yeah
Sitting in the car with the radio on
Wed be drinking till the early morn
But now those days are long gone

Sitting under a full moon
Drinking with my dad tonight
Sitting under a full moon
Everythings gonna be alright

Now so many years have went bye
I still remember those days to my surprise
Times have changed and the car is gone
But wed still drink to the early morn
Until the other day when he passed away

For me yeah that was a real bad day
But he finally made his way home

I remember when I was about 12 years old
I recall my childhood at the age of 12

I said daddyo wont you give me a cold one
I asked my father to give me an alcoholic drink

He got me my beer and he got me my rum
My father provided me with both beer and rum

Back in those days we had some fun yeah
We enjoyed ourselves during that period

Sitting in the car with the radio on
We sat in a car and listened to the radio

Wed be drinking till the early morn
We would drink until the early morning

But now those days are long gone
Those times have long since passed

Sitting under a full moon
I am currently sitting beneath a full moon

Drinking with my dad tonight
I am consuming alcohol with my father tonight

Everythings gonna be alright
Everything is going to be okay

Now so many years have went bye
A great deal of time has passed
