lyrics

She left home in the dead of night,
When the moonbeams set the sea alight,
There was fire in the eyes of that lonely girl,
She said goodbye to Milltown Malbay
And hitched a ride on up to Galway
To swap Daddy's wandering hands for the world.

She took the first train out to Dublin,
Her glass was full and her heart was bubblin'
But she knew that by the Liffey she couldn't stay,
See Daddy hadn't been too kind
To her, so she'd robbed him blind
And she'd run til she had no money left to pay.

And I can't help thinking that this is not gonna turn out well
"You can believe what you want," she said,
"And I might give a damn when I see you in hell!"

She never stayed in one place for long;
Her instincts kept her moving on
Until she had no money left to burn
Oh the boys, well she had plenty
But they left her feeling empty,
Still, she'd found another way to earn.

And I can't help thinking that this is not gonna turn out well
"You can believe what you want," she said,
"And I might give a damn when I see you in hell!"

And she blew their minds just like Oberyn Martell
"You can believe what you want," she said,
"And I might give a damn when I see you in hell!"

She travelled Europe coast to coast,
Trying to escape Daddy's ghost,
Although I don't think that he was dead
She disappeared into the dark,
I heard she runs a house in Prague
That girl always knew how to get ahead...

And I couldn't help thinking that this would not turn out well
"You can believe what you want," she said,
"And I might give a damn
And I might give a damn,
Yes, I might give a damn when I see you in hell!"
