Subject: 200 Year Old Alcoholic From: GUEST,Paddy Date: 27 Jan 00 - 12:58 AM Does anybody have the lyrics to the 200 Year Old Alcoholic by Liam Clancy? |
Subject: RE: 200 Year Old Alcoholic From: katlaughing Date: 27 Jan 00 - 07:01 AM You might try going to The Liam Clancy Official website and emailing them, if no one else on here turns up with them. I didn't see lyrics per se at that site, but it looks pretty new and they are asking for input on the site, itself and list an email addy, so maybe they could help. Good luck, katlaughing |
Subject: Lyr Add: THE 200-YEAR-OLD ALCOHOLIC (Liam Clancy) From: fulurum Date: 27 Jan 00 - 10:05 AM THE 200-YEAR-OLD ALCOHOLIC
CHORUS: Oh, it’s never to late to start living,
When I was eighty, I started smoking. Took to drinking at eighty-five.
Well I moved to an uptown penthouse, used fifties to light my cigars, It gets kinda sad from here on in.
Now I'm a two-hundred-year-old alcoholic and the nicotine’s caught up on me. Sing like you mean it! (CHORUS)
By Liam Clancy. From the "Makem And Clancy Concert,” Shanachie 52003 |

Subject: RE: 200 Year Old Alcoholic From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 07 Nov 03 - 07:32 PM Mind, there's a lot more young drunkards than there are young doctors. (And there's a lot of young drunk doctors, or at least medical students.) |

Subject: RE: 200 Year Old Alcoholic From: Turlough Date: 08 Nov 03 - 04:31 AM What a coincidence. I started the same thread a few days ago! Only, nobody responded (sigh...). Anyway, I will try it again: does anybody have the tune to this song? |
Subject: RE: 200 Year Old Alcoholic From: Amos Date: 08 Nov 03 - 08:47 AM Turlough: I do not; but don't take it personally! :>)) A |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 200 Year Old Alcoholic From: NightWing Date: 08 Nov 03 - 08:24 PM Tune, please? ABC, MIDI, anything? BB, NightWing |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 200 Year Old Alcoholic From: Marc Date: 08 Nov 03 - 08:47 PM REfresh . Tune? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 200 Year Old Alcoholic From: GUEST,ossonflags in the black country Date: 09 Nov 03 - 04:40 AM Wow!!!!!!! I learnt that song this year after a visit to the west coast of Ireland.I give credit and thanks to Tim, the manager of "Dan Foleys Pub" in Annascaul Co.Kerry for giving me the tune and words. Was not to sure were it came from though - now I know, thanks. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 200 Year Old Alcoholic From: Turlough Date: 10 Nov 03 - 06:33 AM Well, there seems to be at least one person who actually knows the tune. So, fellow tune-seekers, do not despair (yet...) :-) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 200 Year Old Alcoholic From: NightWing Date: 07 Mar 12 - 12:19 AM Six years later (almost, anyway) and still no tune. Anybody? BB, NightWing |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 200 Year Old Alcoholic From: saulgoldie Date: 07 Mar 12 - 02:16 PM Night Wing, I have the tune going through my head. Dunno how to get it to you. PM me, and we can figure it out. Saul |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 200 Year Old Alcoholic From: saulgoldie Date: 07 Mar 12 - 02:19 PM Whatthehey?!! Here it be, by himself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CYnuVSwyoM Saul |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 200 Year Old Alcoholic From: Mr Happy Date: 13 Jan 14 - 07:14 AM On the vid, Clancy said he got the song from an uncle, so he [Clancy] didn't write it, anyone know who did & when? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 200 Year Old Alcoholic From: GUEST,jim bainbridge Date: 01 Jun 19 - 12:45 PM I heard him say it was sent to him anonymously on a cassette years ago. It's different in that it's a positive view of getting old- I did it last night in a singing session & of course lots of sympathy from the assembled singers of a certain age.... might pluck up courage & attempt John Eaglesham's 'You never need your nookie when you're ninety' next time- slightly risque but equally positive about an otherwise depressing topic..... |
