Lyrics
If it's drink you want and plenty of feeding
And you like the bed as well
Grab the wife, throw the kids in the Datsun
Make for Inch and the Strand hotel
If talk of turf drives you crazy
And you can't face a bale of hay
Make for Foley's work the topshelf talk puck, pints and the GAA
Casey, Casey you're the divil
When you get behind the wheel
It was a sad day for the Kerry sheepdogs
When your Firestones they did feel
Oh the low road goes from Killorglin all the way down to Annascaul
When Casey came to guide us he never used his brakes at all
A trail of sheepdogs littered Kerry from Killorglin to Macroom
He might have been all soul's salvation but he also was the sheep dog's doom
From the holy dioceses of Galway Eamonn went to London town
Where the traffic cops out on their duty they overtook and flagged him down
As he was tearing after luncheon around the city like a loon
Regardless to his rank and station they forced him to blow up their auld balloon
Geographically he was in limbo faced with justice true and true
No obligations were accepted he was rightly up the flue
No bolt of lightning from the heaven could remove the boys in blue
Well he wished the force that had worked at Cana would turn his wine into water too
Casey, Casey you're the divil
When you get behind the wheel
It was a sad day for the Kerry sheepdogs
When your Firestones they did feel
When Ronnie Reagan came to Ireland all the wankers made a great furore
But Eamonn remembered bishop Romero said he'd even up the score
Casey Casey said "God willin' I'll meet Reagan on the road
Niall O'Brien will hear his confessions when I've taught him the Green Cross Code"
Casey Casey you're the right man to teach them Yankees right from wrong
If it wasn't for yourself and Reagan there wouldn't be much to Martin Egan's song
Casey, Casey you're the divil
When you get behind the wheel
It was a sad day for the Kerry sheepdogs
When your Firestones they did feel

[@liamoreilly8939]

He didn't tell all about Casy, a New Car every year, he destroyed the cathédrale in Killarney and left the town in depth to rebuild it, he had a refurbishment of the Bishops palace and broke the bank on that one as well, thats why he was run Out Of Kerry and ended up in Galway.

[@johngardiner1630]

Is this of any assistance.... Eamonn Casey, the former bishop of Galway, who has died aged 89, might have been remembered as one of the most socially liberal figures in the deeply conservative Irish Roman Catholic hierarchy but for his sudden resignation in 1992 following the revelation that he had fathered a son 17 years earlier and paid ...Mar 16, 2017 ...his HOURS of reckless driving in London...full of devilment..as we used to say.

[@davidkenny4698]

Sadly he did more than have an affair with an adult woman, one of his own family too..

[@edmundcoyle364]

"Socially liberal"?

[@michaelburke5910]

full of divilment? Full of devilish and disgusting desires and behaviors. Ask the children who were his victims. Ahhhh, but he was great craic, wasn't he?

[@jerryfields4837]

Jocky boy? we know the absolute filth now..

[@michaelosullivan1892]

🇮🇪☘️

[@markhooper4532]

Winnie Wallace... Nothing is ever better than to ridicule someone in a song..When I first saw Bishop Casey's photo I laughed out loud. No wonder he used the church and religion to hide his deviant ways.Men like him have made the church a joke. He was a disgrace, enough said...
