cd: Dulahan
track 2: Sláinte
CHORUS
Sláinte, why don’t ya,
come on and drink with me
We’ll hoist a glass to heroes past
and others yet to be
We’ll drink until we should be done
and then we’ll have another one
Sláinte, why don’t ya
come on and drink with me
Come on and rest your weary bones,
sit down here for a while
And maybe share a pint or two
and talk about our trials
The tales will all get taller,
as every drink goes by
And everyone’s convinced
that they can tell a bigger lie
CHORUS
The pub will fill with music,
and we will lead the way
We’ll shout on all the rebel songs
and toast to better days
We’ll tie you to a barstool
if you’re too drunk to stand
We’ll take the ropes away
if you’re the singer in the band
CHORUS
We’ll flirt with all the women folk
and buy them lots of rounds
They’re sure to be impressed
that none of us have fallen down
What they see as a stagger,
is really just a sway
And we will all pretend
we’re not in drunken disarray
CHORUS
The barman’s lost his humor,
no longer wears a grin
He’s not the friendly lad he was
when we came strollin’ in
He’s ransoming the porter,
he’s holding back the gin
It happened ’bout the time
that all of us ran out of tin
