Liner Notes

This was fun. I've been working on fiddle this year and playing Irish and Canadian East Coast styles...but basicly pub tunes nothing highbrow. Elbows Up, and Happy St Patricks! #irish #fiddle #drinkingsong

Lyrics

Some men wish for money Some for power and fame Some men want a pretty girl To sweetly call their name

I myself want many things To that I am resigned But there is one way to relieve A thirst of every kind

Give me a pint of ale miss Give me a pint of ale Only a pint of ale now Will keep me fit and hale

Give me a pint of ale miss Put it on my tab Just a pint of ale please And I’d be awfully glad

I could tell you I’ve been working But I just got out of bed Last night I was roaring drunk Now I’ve an aching head

Best cure in the morning If one is feeling frail Don’t listen to your doctor Just have a pint of ale

Give me a pint of ale miss Give me a pint of ale Only a pint of ale now Will keep me fit and hale

Give me a pint of ale miss Put it on my tab Just a pint of ale please And I’d be awfully glad

Thats a classic pub song. Feels like I’m back in Clifden, sitting in a small pub and having a great time with a pint and live music.

Enjoyed this. I've written a couple of Irish flavoured lyrics this FAWM and it's good to hear a song in this style

Well done!!! I've been sober for over a year, I def think that the world needs more Irish/Canadian pub tunes! So much fun -and great work with the fiddle parts!
