Mama Go Get the Padre

A musical tribute to rock legend and Irish icon Philip Lynott and his mum Philomena.

I gotta go now It’s been a good run
I wrote some songs I had a little fun
Had days I laughed and nights I cried
Can you chisel in stone the day I died

My breath is shallow my heart is slow
My grave is callin’ I’m slipping below

Mama Go Get the Padre
Mama Go Get the Padre

To all my loves for all my lies
Now’s the time I apologize
So whisper a prayer in a dyin’ man’s ear
Sooth my pain and ease my fears

Mama Go Get the Padre
Mama Go Get the Padre
