Seven Nations - A Rare Auld Time lyrics
A Rare Auld Time (Written by Kirk McLeod and Aiden McGovern, arranged by Kirk McLeod) It's three a.m. and we're down at Bridie's The music's grand the craic it flows With Wally Putt and Gard O'Brien The best of times we've ever known So raise your glasses to the heaves The O'Reilly's and the Nevin's It's just as well a chara The tables are nailed down Paidi Murphy's on his second With McDuff and the Reverend We're having ourselves a rare auld time Now Thom O'Neil is going crazy He's doing a jig now with the wife She doesn't know it's Friday's money He's spent in Bridie's Thursday night Now ashtrays fly and chairs fall over There'll be hell to pay by daylight But we don't care t'is surely liftin' To see the glint in old Thoms' eye So raise your glasses to the heaves The O'Reilly's and the Nevin's It's just as well a chara The tables are nailed down Paidi Murphy's on his fourth With O'Conner and McCourt We're having ourselves a rare auld time All's quiet now in Danny's corner A drop of dew was his taste We miss the man since he met the coroner His humor never went to waste The story goes he walks by moonshine The auld ones hear him every night They say he sings down by the ditches Raisin' hell until the break of light So raise your glasses to the heaves The O'Reilly's and the Nevin's It's just as well a chara The tables are nailed down Paidi Murphy's on his eighth With Jimmy Joyce and Yeats We're having ourselves a rare auld time Sweet Mary Clare has roses bloomin' The lads are giving her the eye But she just wants to get back with Patrick After telling him goodbye Now Gerry Byrne has called for ciunas His Kate has fallen in a trance a voice so pure t'would give ya shivers But soon she'll break into a dance So raise your glasses to the heaves The O'Reilly's and the Nevin's It's just as well a chara The tables are nailed down Paidi Murphy's on his ninth Dylan Thomas, Oscar Wilde We're havin' ourselves a rare auld time Good ol' Murphy's on his tenth Jaysus Behan's really bent It's just as well a chara the tables are nailed down Sean O' Casey, Kavanaugh How the hell is Ballina? We're having ourselves a rare auld time Now it's Murphy's on his back Behan's having one on Jack It's just as well a chara the tables are nailed down Now it's Behan's on the floor Murphy's callin' out for more We're havin' ourselves a rare auld We're havin' ourselves a rare auld We're havin' ourselves a rare auld time |
