A PINT OR SO Recorded by the Kerry Boys (Songwriter: Pierce Campbell)
Well my wife is a year passed on and my children are all gone And there's no-one to watch over me in my agein' So I take care of myself, tip a pint back to my health 'Cause it helps me in this war on life I'm wagein'
Hey ho, give me a pint or so, and I'll not bother you until I'm sober Hey ho, give me a pint or so, and I'll not bother you until I'm sober
Some say I drink too much but those are just rumors and such People like to tease a man when he's been drinkin' So buy me one more beer and leave me to my tears 'Cause I'll not tell a soul of what I'm thinkin'
Sometimes I get so sad thinkin' 'bout this life I've had As I raise another glass to friends who have fallen And I wonder why it's me the Lord forgets to see Or have I justnot heard him when He's been callin'
Now I see the reaper's face he say's I was misplaced And he's sorry for all the trouble that he caused me One thing before we go, that's to buy a pint or so 'Cause I'll not leave behind the thing that has pleased me
