GUEST,Guest Tune Req: money is scarce, whiskey is plenty, (18) RE: Tune Req: money is scarce, whiskey is plenty, 21 May 25


My English grandma used to sing this song immediately followed by the second verse which had a different melody and was faster pace. Been trying to find all the lyrics…

Have you ever gone into an Irishman’s shanty?
Where the water is scarce, and the whiskey’s aplenty?
A two legged stool, and a table to match
The door to the shanty is ‘ope with a latch.



Go over to Ireland and there you will see,
How filthy and dirty the Irish can be.
Go into the cupboard and see the potpie,
And see the ‘ol maggot turn up his red eye!
