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
