Good morning everyone! We got an email last week from the Irish Band the Corrigan Brothers. They were inspired to write their newest song after Darren Clarke’s big win at the Open Championship. I’ve attached the lyrics below… they’re in the process of getting the song recorded and I’ll be sure to post the finished product when I get it. Enjoy!
The Ballad of Darren Clarke – Corrigan Brothers – (words and music Corrigan Brothers 2011)
Darren Clarke Darren Clarke
This Irishman lit the open spark
Darren Clarke a golfing Irish Rover
The British open champion earned his hangover
This Irish Legend-old school pro
Has eaten up Sandwich he gave it a go
He’s a legend ,a star and a real nice fellah
And inside his head is Dr Bob Rotella
He believes again In his bread and butter
Winnin a major ,Working his putter
Relaxin with a cold one in the Bar
And chillin after winnin with a fine cigar
Darren Clarke Darren Clarke
This Irishman lit the open spark
He was ready to quit, throw in the towel
Now like McIlroy and McDowell
He’s won a major , so the moral has to be
If you’re thinkin of Quittin think of CLARKEY
A smile on his face a word for the fans
A sports role model he’s a gentleman
Add chips and putts eat the greens and it’s smokin
That’s HOW Darren Clarke won the British Open
Back to his club in Portush there was joy
He’s been burnin it up there since he was a boy
He gave them his medal and they put it on display
Every Darren Clarke has HIS Day
Darren Clarke Darren Clarke
This Irishman lit the open spark
Darren Clarke Darren Clarke
This Irishman lit the open spark
Darren Clarke Darren Clarke
This Irishman lit the open spark
