Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Farewell to Whiskey
I'm familiar with the Boys of the Lough version, but I'm trying to find a full set of lyrics to another version I heard at a music festival some years ago.

It started out like this, as far as I can recall:

I went to the alehouse to look for my Jimmy
The day it is done and the night's coming on
You're sitting there drinking which leaves me lamenting
So come awa' Jimmy and come awa' hame

Does anyone have any more lyrics, or know of any recordings of this version?
