Lyrics:
Been, deep in the heart of Texas
Been in the heart of Down
Been up on Highway One, child
Man, I’ve been around
I’ve been there in the beginning
When twelve shillings was a pound
I’ve been here long enough to know that
What goes around just comes around
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
Is it Kathleen?
Is it Maureen?
Is It Eileen?
Is it Irene Goodnight?
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
I was playing at the Whiskey
When The Doors were opening up
Sometimes I sat there drinking
From a poisoned cup
Somebody told me about a garden
I was headed towards the beach
Back then it seemed the Holy Grail
Was always out of reach
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
Is it Kathleen?
Is it Maureen?
Is It Eileen?
Singing Irene Goodnight
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well you meet the same people on the way up
As you do on the way down
There’s always somebody trying
To steal somebody else’s crown
When you lose your point of reference
And it goes, nothing more to know
Got to go right back to where those
Healing waters flow
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
Is it Kathleen?
Is it Maureen?
Is It Eileen?
Singing Irene Goodnight
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
Well I may as well be
In the County Down
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
I’m going down, County Up
I’m going up, County Down
