《Johnny Tarr》歌词

[00:00:00] Johnny Tarr - Gaelic Storm

[00:00:17] Let me tell you a little story

[00:00:19] About a man named Johnny Tarr

[00:00:21] He was a hard drinking son of a preacher

[00:00:23] Always at the bar

[00:00:25] Lager from the tap

[00:00:26] Or shots of Paddy from the shelf

[00:00:28] He could open his throttle and throw back a bottle

[00:00:30] As quick as the Devil himself Johnny Tarr

[00:00:38] And the word got around

[00:00:40] That Johnny Tarr was no pretender

[00:00:42] From Claire to here they'd lock up the beer

[00:00:44] When Johnny went on a bender

[00:00:45] Down at Dickey Mack's

[00:00:47] The Rising Sun or at the Swan

[00:00:49] He was drinking at seven by ten to eleven

[00:00:51] Well all the booze would be gone Johnny Tarr

[00:00:56] And even if you saw it yourself

[00:00:58] You wouldn't believe it

[00:00:59] But I wouldn't trust a person like me if I were you

[00:01:03] Sure I wasn't there I swear I have an alibi

[00:01:06] I heard it from a man

[00:01:08] Who knows a fella who says it's true

[00:01:12] It was nine in the morning

[00:01:14] On a cold and rainy night

[00:01:16] Johnny rolled into the Castle Bar

[00:01:18] Looking to get tight

[00:01:19] He had money in his pocket

[00:01:21] He had whiskey in his eye

[00:01:22] He said Get up off your asses

[00:01:24] And set up the glasses

[00:01:25] I'm drinking this place dry

[00:01:33] Now all the serious boozers

[00:01:35] They were soon broken hearted

[00:01:37] When Johnny finished off six

[00:01:38] And he was only getting started

[00:01:40] Guzzling down the pints

[00:01:42] Knocking them back like candy

[00:01:44] He was looking alright to be drinking all night

[00:01:45] Then Nora brought out the brandy Johnny Tarr

[00:01:51] And even if you saw it yourself

[00:01:53] You wouldn't believe it

[00:01:54] But I wouldn't trust a person like me if I were you

[00:01:58] Sure I wasn't there I swear I have an alibi

[00:02:01] I heard it from a man

[00:02:02] Who knows a fella who says it's true

[00:02:23] Johnny drank the whole damn bottle

[00:02:25] Had another pint or two

[00:02:27] When it made no impression

[00:02:28] He started a session with Murphy's Millennium Brew

[00:02:31] He was waiting for his pint

[00:02:32] When his face turned green

[00:02:34] Jesus Johnny fell down

[00:02:35] After only fifteen

[00:02:38] You could've heard a pin drop

[00:02:39] Then the crowd let out a roar

[00:02:41] It took five Cork women

[00:02:42] To lift Johnny off the floor

[00:02:44] The doctor looked him over

[00:02:46] And said Better call the hearse

[00:02:48] But it's not what you're thinking

[00:02:49] It wasn't the drinking this man died of thirst Johnny Tarr

[00:02:55] And even if you saw it yourself

[00:02:57] You wouldn't believe it

[00:02:58] I wouldn't trust a person like me if I were you

[00:03:02] Sure I wasn't there I swear I have an alibi

[00:03:05] I heard it from a man

[00:03:07] Who knows a fella who says it's true

[00:03:12] And even if you saw it yourself

[00:03:14] You wouldn't believe it

[00:03:15] But I wouldn't trust a person like me if I were you

[00:03:18] Sure I wasn't there I swear I have an alibi

[00:03:22] I heard it from a man

[00:03:23] Who knows a fella who says it's true
