Story behind the song
Do beatha agus an cailin Written by Stef in Clonmoylan – Ballyshrule – Portumna, Ireland, in October 2004. Inspired by life and its want for being lived before it’s all over.
Lyrics
The Last Shirt (Stef Sigfalk) A shirt in shades of green, I’ll wear for my darling Cailin Colours of hope for to love a girl, The sweetest one man’s ever seen My ship now lays steady in cove, I’ll live up my longings for love All pockets be empty, no harm…my boys, I’ll spend nothing in heavens above Chorus Don’t save for later the luck you have found, food and raiment is enough to go round. Shirts we are wearing have pockets abound but the last shirt in life will have none…my boys, the last shirt in life will have none A shirt in shades of blue, will help my desires come true Blue is the colour of bliss and peace, my darling, I’ll wear it for you Chorus… So whatever shade be the shirt, as long as noone gets hurt Go, seize your luck as it comes…my boys, ‘fore they lower you into the dirt Chorus …2x
