Subject: Lyr Add: POUR ME ANOTHER ONE (Geoff Rodgers)
Here comes Geoff Rodgers's song (s.a.):

Pour me another one
the regular session at the local inspired this one

So pour me another one fill up my glass,
The night is still young and there's more to be sung
Pour me another one let's make it last
And let's sing it over again

Each week in the corner of the local bar
A few old pals with a couple of guitars
Singing their songs for a couple of jars
Let's do it over again
They sing songs from the North and sing songs from the South
Songs with a chorus that you learnt in your youth
Songs that'll move you to open your mouth
And sing with them over again

They sing for the craic and they sing for the beer
They sing for the people who come down to hear
They sing to fill your heart with good cheer
So sing them all over again
They sing songs you knew when you were a lad
Songs that you learnt from your mum or your dad
Songs that are good and songs that are bad
But they sing them all over again

Now times getting on and the bar's long been shut
Someone's still singing but he's almost half cut
So finish your glasses and let's have you out
Till we do it all over again
Times come around the last song of the night
All in together and let's give it some bite
If you count yourself lucky maybe they might
Sing it all over again
