The Old Northern Shore

Oh whiskey’s the life of man but whiskey’s mostly water[00:00:00]

And it’s whiskey fuels the worker and corrupts his only daughter[00:00:11]

The mountain water’s in the still the copper pipes a’ steamin’[00:00:21]

There’ll soon be whiskey in the glass and dreamers gone to dreamin’[00:00:27]

Chorus: Oh it’s the dreamin’ it’s the dreamin’[00:00:40]

A young girl’s prayer an old man’s thoughts a reelin’[00:00:50]

Two lovers stealin’ the moonlight beamin’[00:00:58]

Oh it’s the dreamin’ it’s the dreamin’[00:01:07]

Oh I met her down in Dublin town like a bottle fly I fell[00:01:17]

To the spider in the Blackbush of the old railway hotel[00:01:27]

She spun her web from Liffey’s walls to the back rooms down at Whelan’s[00:01:37]

But oh how sweet her poison now I’m drowning in the dreamin’[00:01:46]

Chorus: Oh it’s the dreamin’ it’s the dreamin’[00:01:55]

A young girl’s prayer an old man’s thoughts are reelin’[00:02:05]

Two lovers stealin’ the moonlight beamin’[00:02:13]

Oh it’s the dreamin’ it’s the dreamin’[00:02:21]

Oh whiskey’s made of water lads Barley corn or malt[00:02:48]

And man and woman’s water mixed with poetry and salt[00:02:59]

Bring on the pullin’ of the tides the flash of eyes a gleamin’[00:03:08]

When passion blends the elements the yeast is but the dreamin’[00:03:17]

Chorus: Oh it’s the dreamin’ it’s the dreamin’[00:03:26]

A young girl’s prayer an old man’s thoughts are reelin’[00:03:36]

Two lovers stealin’ the moonlight beamin’[00:03:43]

The search for meaning leads through the dreamin’[00:03:52]

Oh whiskey’s the life of man[00:04:01]
