Biography:
The Fureys is an Irish folk band that initially performed and recorded as The Fureys & Davey Arthur with family friend Davey Arthur. The name eventually simplified to The Fureys when Arthur no longer performed with them after 1993 (though he returned for a number of recordings until he had a stroke in 2014).
Prior to 1976, two of the Furey brothers toured as a duo Finbar & Eddie Furey. Meanwhile, their brother Paul Furey had, together with brother George, and family friend Davey Arthur and Brendan Leeson, been in the band The Buskers.

[Verse 1]
Am
They come from the farms and the factories too,
E
And they all soon forget who they are
The cares of today are soon washed away
Am
As they sit on a stool by the bar
The girl with green eyes in the rolling stones shirt
Dm
Doesn't look like she works on the land
Am
The man at the end is a very good friend
E A
Of a man who sells cars second hand
[Chorus]
A
Down at the red rose cafe in the harbour
E
There by the port just outside Amsterdam
D A
Everyone shares in the songs and the laughter
E Am
Everyone there is so happy to be there
[Verse 2]
Am
The salesmen relax with a few pints of beer
E
And they try not to speak about trade
The poet wont write any verses tonight
Am
he may sing a sweet sernade
So pull up a chair and forget about life
Dm
It's a good thing to do now and then
Am
And if you like it here I have an idea
E A
Tomorrow lets all meet again
[Chorus]
A
Down at the red rose cafe in the harbour
