Thread Name: Lyr Req: Play the Mason's Apron
Subject: ADD: One More Chorus
One More Chorus - Davey Steele

Joe the barman's cleared the boozer,
He's made everybody leave
Just the band left in the corner,
So Joe rolls up his sleeves
He's counting out our money,
Says: It's time to leave, I think,
We say: Never mind the money, Joe,
We'll take our wage in drink!
And give us..


One more chorus and
One more song
One more tune
And then we'll be gone
It's early in the mornin
We'll be leavin soon and so,
Give us one more song,
Then we'll go--


Soon the tunes were fairly beltin out
And songs were sung as well
But this was Joe's first day at work
He was in Barman Hell
He says: I'll get my jotters
And you'll be barred for life
But the fiddler was the landlord,
And the banjo player's his wife
So give us -

Ch:
One more chorus and
One more song
One more tune
And then we'll be gone
It's early in the mornin
We'll be leavin soon and so,
Give us one more song,
Then we'll go--

Next thing, the doors flew open
It's an ill-wind that blows
For there stood two policemen
And everybody froze
They marched up to our table
All menacing and slow
Saying Play the Mason's Apron!
That's the only tune we know!.

(instrumental break - the Mason's Apron)

The sun streamed through the window
And sparkled off the bar

We packed away our whistles, fiddles,
keyboards and guitars
Moved out to the busy street
Our headache's comin on
Then the piper says: it's openin time,
Let's all head for the Tron!
And give us-


Instrumental - The Mountain Road/Mason's Apron
