Moore Street Girls Lyrics & Chords By The Elders

I walk along the cobbled streets of Dublin in the rain
The Man selling papers, I ask him if he's heard her name
Notorious are the stories, you have to meet the girls
If you ask a sailor, they're known around the world
You can meet them on the corner
They are the Moore Street girls
This is the street their world
Their seducing smiles are nothing you'll ever know
They will allure you, they'll put you in a trance
Before you know it you'll be tapping the street
Doin' an Irish dance, hey!
It's said they have the power to sell a map to a salmon
The tourist from the desert goes home with a bucket of Sandymount sand
Fresh fruit and veggies smelly fish they have them all
Their sad and hardened faces still they smile and have a ball
They'll make you buy your dog a dozen roses
They are the Moore Street girls
This is the street their world
Their seducing smiles are nothing you'll ever know
They will allure you, they'll put you in a trance
Before you know it you'll be tapping the street
Doin' an Irish dance, hey!
Where have all the girls all gone?
We used to love them used to listen to their dirty Dublin songs
Where have all the girls all gone?
They can be grumpy still we love them
Oh what a shame
I stopped and talked to Rosie, I asked her would she sing me a song
She turned to me with angry eyes, I ask her, "Rosie what is wrong?"
The foreigners in the market, the vermin of the world
With all their ugly faces from lands you've never heard
Oh what a shame you'll never know them
Oh what a shame you'll never know them
