cd: Relic of a Bygone Day
track 12: Empty Green Bottles
All the empty green bottles
Means the Jameson’s all gone
Around the kitchen table
We’re remembering old Bill
Bringing up the crazy times
The memories linger still
Throwing back the shorties
We all laughed until we cried
Spicing up the story
Doesn’t really mean we lied
All the empty green bottles
Means the Jameson’s all gone
We toasted every friend we lost
Looked up and it was dawn
Sipping Irish whiskey
Is not the way we carry on
(All the) Empty green bottles
Means the Jameson’s all gone
Unbound generosity
It always makes the man
Everyone showed up last night
With a bottle in each hand
I said we’ve our work cut out
We’ve got to make our gains
Before me darling wife comes home
And pours it down the drain
Chorus
Now we’re sipping coffee here
With ice packs on our head
Johnny fears he’s going to Hell
For wishing he was dead
It must have been a dandy night
To leave us in this fog
Cause no one’s even mentioning
The hair of that green dog
Chorus
