LIFTIN' OF THE LATCH (Charlie McGettigan) Cho: Excuse me sir I need the liftin' of the latch, Will you spare that much for me? For the price of a pint and if you're inclined, You can join all company You could join all company. There's many a day that I would stray To me local hostelry In me pocket not a scratch But the liftin' of the latch To engage in revelry But then I would spy a likely guy Spending money fast and free. And in no time at all you'd hear him call "Give your man what he's having on me". cho: One night I was down to much less then my round And my prospects less then high When up at the bar pulled a big flash car, "Ah the day's been saved", says I. Well I took me chance as your man did glance From the bar and said he to me. "Drink the Colleen Bawn and we'll drink the night long" "No better man" says me. cho: I've listened to a tales old and new All subjects I've advised On matrimony and trigonometry And stranger things besides. Men's deepest thoughts were often brought To seek my counselling. Sure the parish priest on his confession seat Hasn't heard as much as me. Chorus There's them that say that I wouldn't pay For a drink to save me hide Ah but the truth be told I never owned What would get me through the night. Ah me songs and yarns are my only charms They have stood me well till now. And I don't come dear to provide good cheer Just another drink in your round. @drink filename[ LIFTLTCH JK Feb07 |
