Well, I stumble,
It trip,
And I'm all drunk and full'a smoke.
My wife said, "I have had enough,
that's it,
I'm sick,
get out!"
So I stumble down to Kelly's Pub,
Across the edge'a town.
I told the boys me story,
And we had another round!
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink andfight!
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink andfight!
And if I see a pretty girl, I'll sleep with her tonight,
Yes, We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink anddrink and fight!
And Mary McGregger,
Well she was a pretty whore.
She'd always great you with a smile,
And never lock her door.
And on the day she died,
All the men in town did weep,
For Mary McGregger
Finally got some sleep!
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink andfight! (Hey)
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink andfight! (Hey)
And if I see a pretty girl, I'll sleep with her tonight,
Yes, We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink anddrink and fight!
Well I once loved a girl,
I child, I'm told.
I gave her my heart,
And she gave me a cold.
So now I sit, standin' here,
Out in the pourin' rain.
I'll stumble back to Kelly's Pub,
And cry away me pain.
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink andfight! (Hey)
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink andfight! (Hey)
And if I see a pretty girl, I'll sleep with her tonight,
Yes, We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink anddrink and FIGHT!
