It seemed to me that there was one idea in my previous entry that was worth expanding on. The tune (obviously) is the Yellow Rose of Texas. The Guinness Flows in Texas There's a dear old house in Texas with a cool and shady yard It's so uncultivated, and the soil is stony hard There were two shovels in the shed, but Ainé took her pick And started digging in the yard, tho' it was hard as brick Chorus It's the sweetest little garden that Texas ever new But hard and sweated labour makes you want to down a few And Ainé's luck was in that day, for now it's plain to see That the Guinness flows in Texas, and the Guinness flows for free! As Ainé dug the garden, and was staring at the soil It turned rich and dark and muddy, and she thought that she'd struck oil But it didn't smell like oil – it was something else instead For you've never seen such oil with a creamy, frothy head Chorus Now the Guinness keeps on flowing, and the goddess, without doubt Has a plan for distribution of her lucky strike of stout Now the Mudcat Tavern's never dry, there's never any gripe For the Guinness isn't just on tap – it's delivered by the pipe. Chorus
