23 Mar 00 - 03:21 PM (#200073) Subject: Paddy Kelly's Brew From: GUEST,Irish Brigade We used to perform this one, but we don't even recall who we stole, er "borrowed" it from way back when. The chorus is: It tastes as sweet as honey as it trickles down your throat. It just as pure as good ould mountain dew. It would make a fella sing, tho' he didn't have a note. Won't you try a drop of Paddy Kelly's Brew. Thanks!

Paddy Kelly is my name
CHORUS: Because it tastes as sweet as honey as it trickles down your throat
Well it will cure your rheumatism CHORUS: Because it tastes....
Any summer day you'll find me CHORUS: For it tastes....
Now I've a pound or two to spend CHORUS: For it tastes....
Now I know you will confess CHORUS: Because it tastes.... (2) |

Later Tommy played it at another festival. Makes sense. How about "Keep Your Legs Together Comin' Home from the Wake"? This one might also be known as "Fagan the Lodger". |

Nowadays, youtube is probably the first place to search, with so much stuff being put up there. |
