Текст песни
The ballrooms in this country are living proof today
Of a man who's now a legend from Wicklow to Galway
We love our country music, to us it's everything
Don't mater what they tell you, Big Tom is still the King
With fever pitched excitement, country music on our minds
I drive a hundred miles to hear that voice so warm and kind
And I can still recall now the first time I heard him sing
I've been proud to be from Blayney where Big Tom is still the King
You can have your Waylon Jennings or Nashville's Charlie Pride
The boast of all their superstars but for us it's Tom McBride
Oh Nashville is so far away, it scarcely means a thing
When you're in old Ireland, Big Tom is still the King
Next time you're down in Wexford or western Old Mayo
Don't need to ask them who's the King, they chose Big Tom long ago
You can ask the stars in Ireland, they say he's got the swing
They'll be the first to tell you Big Tom is still the King
You can have your Waylon Jennings or Nashville's Charlie Pride
The boast of all their superstars but for us it's Tom McBride
Oh Nashville is so far away, it scarcely means a thing
When you're in old Ireland, Big Tom is still the King
Yes, when you're in old Ireland, Big Tom is still the King
