An Irish Favorite Of Mine!

This is my favorite Irish Pub Song, thought I would share it with you. I searched long and hard to find a perfect video to go with the song.  Apparntly there are many out there how enjoy this song, The video below actually acts it out for you.   Now some folks have a hard time understanding the words, and these words are very funny, Sooooo you will find them below.

 

It's lonesome away from your kindred and all
By the campfire at night where the wild dingos call
But there's nothin' so lonesome, so dull or so drear
Than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer

Now the publican's anxious for the quota to come
There's a faraway look on the face of the bum
The maid's gone all cranky and the cook's acting queer
What a terrible place is a pub with no beer

The stockman rides up with his dry, dusty throat
He breasts up to the bar, pulls a wad from his coat
But the smile on his face quickly turns to a sneer
When the barman says suddenly: "The pub's got no beer!"

There's a dog on the verandah, for his master he waits
But the boss is inside drinking wine with his mates
He hurries for cover and he cringes in fear
It's no place for a dog round a pub with no beer

Then in comes the swagman, all covered with flies
He throws down his roll, wipes the sweat from his eyes
But when he is told he says, "What's this I hear?
I've trudged fifty flamin' miles to a pub with no beer!"

Old Billy, the blacksmith, the first time in his life
Has gone home cold sober to his darling wife
He walks in the kitchen; she says: "You're early, me dear"
Then he breaks down and he tells her that the pub's got no beer

It's lonesome away from your kindred and all
By the campfire at night where the wild dingos call
But there's nothin' so lonesome, so dull or so drear
Than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer

that was cute, I can imagine it could be a song that sticks with you; the lyrics are cute; a pub with no beer would be a disaster on St. Patrick's Day :)

I can relate -- I give up "me beer" for Lent every year! Hey, that rhymes, maybe I'm a poet and don't know it!
Maybe I need to go back to bed.
