Jimmy Hope

James "Old Jimmy" Hope (1836 – June 2, 1905) was a 19th-century American burglar, bank robber and underworld figure in Philadelphia and later New York City. He was considered one of the most successful and sought after bank burglars in the United States during his lifetime as well as a skilled escape artist for his repeated breakouts from Auburn State Prison in New York. A pioneering career criminal and safe-cracker, he planned and took part in many of the major robberies of the post-American Civil War era including those of the Kensington Savings Bank and, in partnership with Ned Lyons, the Ocean Bank and Philadelphia Navy Yard. His most infamous crime, however, was the 1878 robbery of the Manhattan Savings Institution with the George Leslie Gang. more »

Galway in the Rain – Jimmy Hope

V1
You can feel it in the air,
As you walk across Eyre Square.
Sitting in the sunshine on the grass.

There’s a grand relaxing vibe
In the city of the tribes.
Will make your worries fade into the past.

V2
Get a seat inside the crane
To hear an old reframe.
Or sit outside at the ending of the day.

On the 17th of March,
with your mates at Spanish arch,
to watch the sun go down on Galway bay.

Chorus:
I’d take Galway in the rain,
Over Portugal or Spain.
Take her over Rome or Venice too.

Claddagh to the keys, Pretty as you please.
Home forever for the lucky few.
Never thought that I’d ever leave you. 

V3.
It’s the home of Michael D,
He’s the president you see.
Ó Conaire, Barnacle and Dick.

Where the fiddler Micky Finn
Would strike off a lovely din
And Johnny McEvoy would do the trick.

With the old long walk in B
Enchanted by the sea.
So pretty that you’ll never want to leave.

You might meet someone you love
In O’Connors famous pub.
Or a party in Salthill on New Year’s Eve.

Chorus:
I’d take Galway in the rain,
Over Portugal or Spain.
Take her over Rome or Venice too.

Claddagh to the keys, Pretty as you please.
Home forever for the lucky few.
Never thought that I’d ever leave you. 

Mid 8:
Entertainment at your feet,
As you ramble down shop street.
Where the buskers and the jugglers are celebs.

Reminisce about old Johnny,
And catch up on your lives
Pretty soon, forget you ever left. 

Chorus:
I’d take Galway in the rain,
Over Portugal or Spain.
Take her over Rome or Venice too.

Claddagh to the keys, Pretty as you please.
Home forever for the lucky few.
Never thought that I’d ever leave you. 

Hope to god that I’ll return there soon.
