Riding The High Stool - Christy Moore[00:00:01]

I was riding the high stool expandin' and expoundin' [00:00:05]

On the price of rice in Siera Leone[00:00:10]

And the height of the beef mountain [00:00:12]

As to where did Jack Doyle meet Movita [00:00:14]

How many wives did the Aga Khan [00:00:17]

Dismountin' from my high horse [00:00:19]

I couldn't find the handle of the bar room door [00:00:22]

Yeah sure I knew it all then up again' the counter [00:00:27]

I'd weigh you up in ten seconds flat [00:00:29]

Ya see I was a great judge of character [00:00:34]

My instincts always tellin' me exactly what kinda guy I got [00:00:36]

'Til I turned to go that is [00:00:44]

Whereupon I couldn't tell my arse from my well-bent elbow [00:00:46]

I was heading down the streets of Laredo singin' Red Sails in the Sunset [00:00:52]

Sure it was no wonder we knew it all then [00:00:57]

Twas like drinkin' porter off a sore leg sez Ber Murphy [00:01:02]

"Would ye ever ask me bollix" sez Kenny Barry [00:01:06]

I showed them the colour of me money when I got back from Katanga [00:01:11]

There's no business like show business sez Titch Maher in Flood's bar [00:01:16]

After snaggin' turnips for the Holy Fathers [00:01:21]

But after it got dark much later;[00:01:26]

Down by the pinkeen bridge [00:01:31]

I cried buckets in the river [00:01:32]

When Mickser sang "Oh gentle Swallows" [00:01:35]

Oh gentle swallows[00:01:41]

For knowin' it all is a lonely place to be [00:01:46]

Yet still I found it very hard to say [00:01:51]

"Hey man this load is too much for me [00:01:56]

Til I was completely terrified [00:02:01]

Whereupon a light ship came upon my way [00:02:06]

And caught me in its beam [00:02:10]

Before I went under yet again [00:02:15]

For the very last time [00:02:19]

I was ridin' the high stool expandin' and expoundin' [00:02:23]

Swimming in the wine lakes and climbing the beef mountains [00:02:28]

Ridin' the high stool expandin' and expoundin' [00:02:33]

On the price of rice in Siera Leone[00:02:37]

And the height of the beef mountain [00:02:39]

Ridin' the high stool[00:02:42]
