cd: Live at Bainbridge
track 11: Under The Table
Let me tell you a story,
it starts like a fable
once upon a time
put her under the table
She saw me Irish cap
and me wool Aran jumper
knowing I was Irish she handed me porter
Saying I’ll drink you under
before night is over
Bring shots of whiskey
and wild Irish porter
It’ll go down with ease
for as long as you’re able
Tonight I’m gonna drink you
under the table
Four shots and pints later
we’re still goin’ strong
My head it was funny
but I’d prove her wrong
She starts to stagger,
I’m still holding on
The whiskey, the Guinness
we’re far beyond gone
CHORUS
Five hours later
we’re still throwing back
My head it was funny
God I was a wreck
After twelve pints of Guinness
and more drams of whiskey
Me mother fell down
she was far beyond tipsy
I beat me dear Ma
my day it had come
We had to stumble all the way home
CHORUS
