Fiddlers Green - The Crawl lyrics

rate me

Chorus:

Well we're good old boys, we come from the Northern

Shore

Drinkers and carousers the likes you've never seen

And this night by God! We drank 'til there was no more

From the Troller to the Raven with all stops in

Between.

But it all began one afternoon on the shores of

Ambleside

We were sittin' there quite peacefully with the rising

Of the tide

When an idea it came to mind for to usher in the fall

So we all agreed next Friday night we'd go out on the

Crawl

Chorus

We planned to have a gay old time, the cash we did not

Spare

So We left all the cars at home and paid the taxi fare

I got out to Horseshoe Bay a little after five

From a table in the corner I heard familiar voices rise

Chorus

Spirits they ran high that night old stories we did

Share

Of the days when we were younger men and never had a

Care

The beer flowed like a river and we drank the keg near

Dry

So we drained down all our glasses and were thirsty bye

And bye

Chorus

Park Royal Hotel, The Rusty Gull, Square-Rigger and

Queens Cross

We'd started out with eight good boys but half had

Gotten lost

For you'll never keep the lads together when their eyes

Began to rove

So there was just the three of us that made it to Deep

Cove

Chorus

We arrived out at The Raven just in time for the last

Call

The final destination of this the first annual crawl

We dug deep into our pockets there was no money to be

Found

Nine miles home and for walking we are bound
