Wild Irish Rose Lyrics

They're closing down the farmers market
And traffic's building down the lane
I'm an angry taxi driver's target
But that's okay
It's just the way he shakes his pain

Somedays my lover can't complete me
Sometimes my work cannot be done
Somedays I see my sun as setting
And I don't know, I don't know which way to run

And everytime I see you dance my Wild Irish Rose
I want to jump up on stage with you
I want to give you my clothes
And let the devil take my soul

The sign said "Live Exotic Dancers"
Not surprised I find my self inside
It's like I'm looking for some answer
For why my spirits dead inside

And everytime I see you dance my Wild Irish Rose
I want to jump up on stage with you
I want to give you my clothes
And let the devil take my soul

And I never met my great grandfather
But I swear I saw his ghost last night
He looked just like he looked in pictures
Except he was not black and white

And everytime I see you dance my Wild Irish Rose
I want to jump up on stage with you
I want to give you my clothes
And let the devil take my soul

They're closing down the farmers market
And traffic's building down the lane
I'm an angry taxi driver's target
But that's okay 
It's just the way he shakes his pain

Somedays my lover can't complete me
Sometimes my work cannot be done 
Somedays I see my sun as setting
And I don't know, I don't know which way to run

And everytime I see you dance my Wild Irish Rose 
I want to jump up on stage with you
I want to give you my clothes
And let the devil take my soul

The sign said "Live Exotic Dancers" 
Not surprised I find my self inside
It's like I'm looking for some answer
For why my spirits dead inside

And everytime I see you dance my Wild Irish Rose 
I want to jump up on stage with you
I want to give you my clothes
And let the devil take my soul

And I never met my great grandfather 
But I swear I saw his ghost last night 
He looked just like he looked in pictures 
Except he was not black and white

And everytime I see you dance my Wild Irish Rose 
I want to jump up on stage with you
I want to give you my clothes
And let the devil take my soul

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
