Johnny Tarr - Gaelic Storm[00:00:00]

Let me tell you a little story[00:00:17]

About a man named Johnny Tarr[00:00:19]

He was a hard drinking son of a preacher[00:00:21]

Always at the bar[00:00:23]

Lager from the tap[00:00:25]

Or shots of Paddy from the shelf[00:00:26]

He could open his throttle and throw back a bottle[00:00:28]

As quick as the Devil himself Johnny Tarr[00:00:30]

And the word got around[00:00:38]

That Johnny Tarr was no pretender[00:00:40]

From Claire to here they'd lock up the beer[00:00:42]

When Johnny went on a bender[00:00:44]

Down at Dickey Mack's[00:00:45]

The Rising Sun or at the Swan[00:00:47]

He was drinking at seven by ten to eleven[00:00:49]

Well all the booze would be gone Johnny Tarr[00:00:51]

And even if you saw it yourself[00:00:56]

You wouldn't believe it[00:00:58]

But I wouldn't trust a person like me if I were you[00:00:59]

Sure I wasn't there I swear I have an alibi[00:01:03]

I heard it from a man[00:01:06]

Who knows a fella who says it's true[00:01:08]

It was nine in the morning[00:01:12]

On a cold and rainy night[00:01:14]

Johnny rolled into the Castle Bar[00:01:16]

Looking to get tight[00:01:18]

He had money in his pocket[00:01:19]

He had whiskey in his eye[00:01:21]

He said Get up off your asses[00:01:22]

And set up the glasses[00:01:24]

I'm drinking this place dry[00:01:25]

Now all the serious boozers[00:01:33]

They were soon broken hearted[00:01:35]

When Johnny finished off six[00:01:37]

And he was only getting started[00:01:38]

Guzzling down the pints[00:01:40]

Knocking them back like candy[00:01:42]

He was looking alright to be drinking all night[00:01:44]

Then Nora brought out the brandy Johnny Tarr[00:01:45]

And even if you saw it yourself[00:01:51]

You wouldn't believe it[00:01:53]

But I wouldn't trust a person like me if I were you[00:01:54]

Sure I wasn't there I swear I have an alibi[00:01:58]

I heard it from a man[00:02:01]

Who knows a fella who says it's true[00:02:02]

Johnny drank the whole damn bottle[00:02:23]

Had another pint or two[00:02:25]

When it made no impression[00:02:27]

He started a session with Murphy's Millennium Brew[00:02:28]

He was waiting for his pint[00:02:31]

When his face turned green[00:02:32]

Jesus Johnny fell down[00:02:34]

After only fifteen[00:02:35]

You could've heard a pin drop[00:02:38]

Then the crowd let out a roar[00:02:39]

It took five Cork women[00:02:41]

To lift Johnny off the floor[00:02:42]

The doctor looked him over[00:02:44]

And said Better call the hearse[00:02:46]

But it's not what you're thinking[00:02:48]

It wasn't the drinking this man died of thirst Johnny Tarr[00:02:49]

And even if you saw it yourself[00:02:55]

You wouldn't believe it[00:02:57]

I wouldn't trust a person like me if I were you[00:02:58]

Sure I wasn't there I swear I have an alibi[00:03:02]

I heard it from a man[00:03:05]

Who knows a fella who says it's true[00:03:07]

And even if you saw it yourself[00:03:12]

You wouldn't believe it[00:03:14]

But I wouldn't trust a person like me if I were you[00:03:15]

Sure I wasn't there I swear I have an alibi[00:03:18]

I heard it from a man[00:03:22]

Who knows a fella who says it's true[00:03:23]
