[02:02.87]At the early age of thirty-eight Me mother said 'Go West!'
[02:06.62]'Get up, ' says she. 'and get a job'. Says I, 'I'll do my best'
[02:10.58]I pulled on me Wellingtons to march to Kiltimagh
[02:15.18]But I took a wrong turn in Charlestown and ended up in Knock
[02:19.78]Oh once this quiet crossroads was a place of gentle prayer
[02:23.83]Where Catholics got indulgent once or twice a year.
[02:27.11]You could buy a pair of rosary beads or get your candles blessed
[02:32.05]If you had a guilty conscience you could get it off your chest.
[02:37.59]Then came the priest form Partry father Horan was his name
[02:41.35]And since he's been appointed Knock has never been the same.
[02:44.72]'Begod,' says Jem, 'tis eighty years since Mary was adout.'
[02:50.04]'Tis time for another miracle.' and he blew the candle out.
[02:54.74]From Fatima to Bethlehem, from Lourdes to Kiltimagh,
[02:58.96]There's never been a miracle like the airport up in Knock
[03:05.88]To establish terra firma he draw up a ten year plan
[03:09.92]And started running dances around 1961.
[03:13.92]He built a fantabulous church, Go h-álainn, on the holy ground
[03:18.01]And once he had a focal point he started to expand
[03:23.06]Chip shops and Bed and Breakfasts sprung up over night.
[03:27.50]Once a place for quiet retreats now a holy sight.
[03:31.38]All sorts of fancy restaurants for every race and creed
[03:36.13]Where black and white and yellow pilgrims all could get a feed
[03:40.97]The stalls once under canvas became religious supermarts
[03:42.30]With such a range o' godly goods, they had top twenty charts.
[03:42.83]While the airport opposition was destroyed by James' trump card.
[03:43.18]For centenary celebrations he got John Paul the twenty-third
[03:43.85]'We had the Blessed virgin here,' Bold Jamesie did declare,
[03:46.50]'And Pope John Paul the twenty-third appeared just over there.'
[03:50.82]'Now do you mean to tell me', he said in total shock,
[03:55.06]'That I am not entitled to an airport here in Knock.'
[03:59.84]TD's were lobbied and harassed with talk of promised votes
[04:04.23]And people who'd been loyal for years now spoke of changing coats.
[04:09.14]Eternal damnation was threatened on the flock
[04:13.16]Who said it was abortive building airports up in Knock
[04:17.75]Now everyone is happy the miracle is complete.
[04:22.17]Father Horan's got his runway, it's eighteen thousand feet
[04:26.24]All sorts of planes could land there, of that there's little doubt,
[04:30.92]Handy for the George Bush to keep knock Gadaffi out.
[05:05.38]Did NATO donate, me boys, did NATO donate the dough?
[05:09.08]Did NATO donate, me Girls, did NATO donate the dough?
[05:13.11]Did NATO donate the dough, the dough, did NATO donate the dough?
[05:16.96]Eighteen thousand feet of runway is an awful long way to go.
