“Irish Drinking Song”

well i stumbled in at 2 a.m. all drunk and full of smoke
my wife said i have had enough, im sick, thats it, get out!
so i stumbled down to kellys pub across the edge of town
and i told the boys me story and we had another round

we’ll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!
we’ll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!
and if i see a pretty girl, ill sleep with her tonight!
we’ll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!

and mary mcgregor, she was a pretty whore
she’d always greet you with a smile and never lock her door
but on the day she died, all the men in town did weep
for mary mcgregor finally got some sleep

we’ll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!
we’ll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!
and if i see a pretty girl, ill sleep with her tonight!
we’ll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!

well i once loved a girl, a child im told
i gave her my heart and she gave me a cold
so now i sit standing here out in the pouring rain
ill stumble back to kellys pub and cry away me pain

we’ll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!
we’ll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!
and if i see a pretty girl, ill sleep with her tonight!
we’ll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!

I’m fairly sure Jimmy Buffet only does drinking songs. Even his ballads are about getting drunk, or stoned, and sometimes both. Boat Drinks has to rank near the top.

Without George Thorogood this list is useless.

[Joe 6-pack]

This is an Irish classic covered by Metallica. I've been sober for six years, and still get a little tipsy just from listening to this song...

Whisky in the Jar

[irishtenor]

I subscribe to the “Irish and Celtic music” podcast with Marc Gunn. So much wonderful music... and it is amazing how much is about drinking :>)

You still using jelly jars? Showing your age.

Without George Thorogood this list is useless.

Exactly. "If You Don't Start Drinking", "I Drink Alone", "One Bourbon..." etc.
