Jar Song Lyrics

Damien Dempsey

I drank with him once and woke up on the ground
Maybe someday we'll meet up and do brunch
Some beers and a shandy too

Luke Kelly meant a lot to me
He sang from in here and then swigged his beer
If ordering pints was a crime
He'd be in Mountjoy for eternity

Christy Moore was an awful hoor
He'd drink poteen 'til the bogs were clean
He brought me great joy since I was a boy
The day he went dry, the publican cried

Take me out on the jar today
We'll drink stout and we'll be okay
We might get out of our homes tonight
We'll get in a fight, alright

Take me out on the jar today
