The Pool Song - The Dubliners/Ronnie Drew[00:00:00]

May the Lord upon high who rules the sky[00:00:02]

Look down on our pubs and bars[00:00:06]

And the women and men all seated within[00:00:08]

Neglecting their pints and their jars[00:00:12]

The crack it is bad the atmosphere sad[00:00:15]

Every man has a face like a mule[00:00:18]

For all he can do is to grab an old cue[00:00:21]

And start playing that game of pool[00:00:24]

Well when I was a boy it was always me joy[00:00:28]

To go to the pub each night[00:00:31]

There were arguments scraps and killings perhaps[00:00:33]

And everyone thought he was right[00:00:37]

There were badgers and dogs[00:00:40]

And men from the bogs[00:00:42]

And young fellows acting the tool[00:00:44]

But now there's no crack[00:00:46]

For everyman Jack[00:00:49]

Has his arse in the air playing pool[00:00:50]

To the local ale house after milking the cows[00:00:54]

Every customer made his way[00:00:58]

And there he would dwell and drink till he fell[00:01:00]

While the fiddles and pipes they did play[00:01:03]

The jigs and the reels the rattling of heels[00:01:06]

Polkas and slides were the rule[00:01:09]

But now there's no chance of a tune or a dance[00:01:12]

For everyone's playing the ould pool[00:01:16]

Well this pool you will find is a game designed[00:01:18]

For foolish illiterate louts[00:01:23]

You push in four bob and you pull an old knob[00:01:25]

And a big shower of balls they come out[00:01:29]

They're placed on a table and then if you're able[00:01:32]

To knock them all into a hole[00:01:36]

More money goes in you start over again[00:01:38]

And you lose every bob of your dole[00:01:41]

Now in the Irish Free State[00:01:44]

All the people are bate[00:01:46]

From watching and playing this game[00:01:48]

In their necks they have cricks[00:01:51]

That no doctor could fix[00:01:53]

And their backs and their shoulders are maimed[00:01:55]

Their arses protrude in a manner most lewd[00:01:57]

From being hoisted aloft in the air[00:02:01]

And their eyeballs are sore[00:02:03]

And dripping in gore[00:02:05]

And they act in a manner most quare[00:02:07]

So if you meet a young man[00:02:09]

Who's face it is wan[00:02:11]

And his eyes have a vacant stare[00:02:13]

His jawbone is slack[00:02:16]

And his head is thrown back[00:02:17]

And he can't tell a cob from a mare[00:02:19]

His nostrils dilated his brow corrugated[00:02:22]

His manners like those of a fool[00:02:27]

On your shirt you can bet[00:02:29]

That you have just met[00:02:31]

A man that's gone plain mad from pool[00:02:33]
