LYRICS:

'Twas on a bright Midsummer's eve,
An old woman I chanced for to see.
She grabbed both my shoulders and shook 'em,
Saying, "Bring back the snakes to me!"

My land was a jewel most blessed,
My people both happy and free,
Till the preachers came in with their crosses,
And drove all the snakes out to sea.

Bring back, bring back, bring back, bring back the snakes.
Bring back, bring back, O' bring back, bring back the snakes to me!
Bring back, bring back, bring back, bring back the snakes.
Bring back, bring back, O' bring back, bring back the snakes to me!

Yes, 'snakes' was the word that they used then,
For the masters of all druidry,
Whom they murdered, converted or banished,
As threats to their new tyranny.

Bring back, bring back, bring back, bring back the snakes.
Bring back, bring back, O' bring back, bring back the snakes to me!
Bring back, bring back, bring back, bring back the snakes.
Bring back, bring back, O' bring back, bring back the snakes....... to me!

Now it's past fifteen centuries later,
The results are clear for all to see;
Ireland was better off Pagan,
So bring back the snakes to me!

Then the old woman's face started changing,
Every country and race I could see.
She said, "All lands are better off Pagan,
So bring back the snakes to me!"

Bring back, bring back, bring back, bring back the snakes.
Bring back, bring back, O' bring back, bring back the snakes to me!
