Thread Name: Lyr Add: Irishman's Shanty
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Irishman's Shanty
Growing up I heard this and wondered what the rest of the lyrics were.

Did you ever go into an Irishmans shanty
Where money is scarce and whiskey is plenty
They eat with their razors and fight with their knives
To keep the big bed bugs from taking their wives

And no, I never in my life looked down on the Irish. They would have ruled the world if not for Whiskey
