Three Cheers For Manchester!

about

An original Irish drinking song for my hometown of Manchester, CT! As the Official Town Troubadour of Manchester, what better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and my town than with a tale of Leprechauns hiding gold set to an Irish pub song?!?

Featuring the amazing Irish fiddle stylings of Stephen Prout!

lyrics

Nestled in the green lush land 'twixt 84 and down
There lay a land of smiling eyes, a fair and friendly town
Does Lady Luck gaze down on her?
What makes our days so fine?
It’s Manchester’s kind citizens
That grow a town divine

(Chorus)
(Bom, bom) Three cheers for Manchester
We raise a pint to thee
(Bom, bom) Three cheers for Manchester
As high as eyes can see
‘Cause we love our town sincerely
However far we'll roam
(Bom, bom) Three cheers for Manchester
This place we call our home

I’ve heard it said one time or more, some leprechauns one day
They set out on the wavy sea to seek new fields to play
They hid their pots of gold all ‘round
This new land whence they came
And there’s surely gold in Manchester
‘Neath colored bows ‘hind rain

(Bom, bom) Three cheers for Manchester
We raise a pint to thee
(Bom, bom) Three cheers for Manchester
As high as eyes can see
‘Cause we love our town sincerely
However far we'll roam
(Bom, bom) Three cheers for Manchester
This place we call our home


(Bom, bom) Three cheers for Manchester
We raise a pint to thee
(Bom, bom) Three cheers for Manchester
As high as eyes can see
‘Cause we love our town sincerely
However far we'll roam
(Bom, bom) Three cheers for Manchester
This place we call our home
Let’s sing and drink for Manchester, till Uber drives us home
