If I Get An Encore - Christy Moore[00:00:01]

When I first heard Tommy Makem and[00:00:09]

The Clancy's my future it was sealed[00:00:11]

I was bitten by the ballad bug and since then[00:00:16]

The wound has never healed[00:00:19]

When I got my first guitar my fingers bled until[00:00:22]

I learned a chord or two[00:00:26]

I pulled on my aran sweater wrote my Ma a goodbye letter[00:00:29]

And started throwing shapes in O'Donoghue's [00:00:34]

I've played every lounge in Ireland from[00:00:38]

Dingle right up to Donegal[00:00:41]

I've sung Nancy Spain on stages[00:00:45]

Where no other ballad singers play at all[00:00:47]

From the rising sun in Brownstown to the Blue Lagoon[00:00:52]

Above in Sligo Town[00:00:55]

Ballymurphy and the Bogside Ballinamore[00:00:59]

And even once in Ballinasloe [00:01:02]

If I get an encore I go home feeling like a king[00:01:05]

It's a two way situation I get a lot of pleasure when I sing[00:01:12]

I played cabaret in Bundoran and marquees for Father Horan[00:01:21]

And I once stood in for Johnny McEvoy[00:01:25]

From Berlin to San Francisco I've gone on before the disco[00:01:30]

Lashing out the four green fields of Athenry[00:01:34]

Mountbellew was like purgatory[00:01:39]

But Tulsk was just like being in hell[00:01:41]

I've received my education in the lounges of the nation[00:01:45]

After 25 years I am doing well[00:01:50]

If I get an encore I go home feeling like a king[00:01:54]

It's a two way situation I get a lot of pleasure when I sing[00:02:01]

I was playing in the Meeting place[00:02:10]

When half the Special Branch came to the door[00:02:12]

They were looking for an outlaw[00:02:16]

He stole their trousers back in 1984[00:02:18]

They started listening to my songs and[00:02:23]

Hung around till after the show[00:02:25]

If I ever need a taxi plate or a massage at a special rate[00:02:29]

They're the boys to tell me where to go[00:02:34]

If I get an encore I go home feeling like a king[00:02:38]

It's a two way situation I get a lot of pleasure[00:02:45]

When I sing[00:02:51]
