Don't get your bollocks in a twist
Settle down, don't take a fit
Ya drank with demons straight form Hell
They almost nearly won as well
Ya wiped the floor with...

    This tune is Flogging Molly's interpretation on the tune "The Kesh Jig"

    They added their own lyrics that is about being a lost pirate going out to sea then ending up being hanged.
