Molly McGuire - Joy Of Draught lyrics

rate me

If I was the innkeeper I tell you what I'd do

I'd invite my friends for a drink or two

So grab your maid and dance away

I promise you good porter won't lead you astray

So if you come around I'll pour one into you

Let's drink ye friends, let's drink tallio

Let's fill our glass and cheer 'til the morning

When was fifteen, almost fifteen years ago

I pint of good beer was found in every bar

Every keeper in our town they made their own good draught

When travelling through the cities well I made some new acquaintance

Of girls and maids ales stouts and of good draught

Let's drink ye friends, let's drink tallio

Let's fill our glass and cheer 'til the morning

And now I'm older with some grey hairs on me head

The pleasures of drinking is not just still the same

The plenteous of ales and stouts are reduced into a few

The keepers aren't allowed to make their own good brew

If I was the Innkeeper I tell you what I'd do
