Johnny Tarr
作詞:James Cregan, S Lonsdale, S Twigger, S Wehmeyer
Lemme tell you a little story About a man named Johnny Tarr He was a hard drinking son of a preacher Always at the bar
Lager from the tap Or shots of Paddy from the shelf He could open his throttle And throw back a bottle As quick as the Devil himself, Johnny Tarr
And the word got around That Johnny Tarr was no pretender From Claire to here they'd lock up the beer When Johnny went on a bender
Down at Dickey Mack's The Rising Sun, or at the Swan He was drinking at seven, by ten to eleven Well, all the booze would be gone, Johnny Tarr
And even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it But I wouldn't trust a person like me, if I were you Sure I wasn't there, I swear I have an alibi I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true
It was nine in the morning On a cold and rainy night Johnny rolled into the Castle Bar Looking to get tight
He had money in his pocket He had whiskey in his eye He said, 'Get up off your asses And set up the glasses I'm drinking this place dry'
Now all the serious boozers They were soon broken hearted When Johnny finished off six And he was only getting started もっと沢山の歌詞は ※ Mojim.com
Guzzling down the pints Knockin' em back like candy He was lookin' alright to be drinkin' all night Then Nora brought out the brandy, Johnny Tarr
And even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it But I wouldn't trust a person like me, if I were you Sure I wasn't there, I swear I have an alibi I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true
Johnny drank the whole damn bottle Had another pint or two When it made no impression He started a session with Murphy's Millennium Brew
He was waiting for his pint When his face turned green Jesus, Johnny fell down After only fifteen
And you could've heard a pin drop Then the crowd let out a roar It took five Cork women To lift Johnny off the floor
The doctor looked him over And said, 'Better call the hearse But it's not what you're thinkin' It wasn't the drinkin' this man died of thirst' Johnny Tarr
And even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it But I wouldn't trust a person like me, if I were you Sure I wasn't there, I swear I have an alibi I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true
And even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it But I wouldn't trust a person like me, if I were you Sure I wasn't there, I swear I have an alibi I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true
