Old St. John’s
(Jeff Greene)

Chorus

Well old St. John’s is sinkin’. I think I’m gonna swim.

I’ll be half an hour in Heaven before the Devil knows I’m dead.

I said it once. I’ll say it twice. I’ll say it once again.

O’Leary play that bagpipe. Let the party here begin.

We started at O’Reilly’s, then down to Bridie Molloy’s

Headed on down to Trapper’s where we met up with all the boys.

We lifted the drinks up one by one and how we watched them fall.

Tonight we’ll have ourselves a tune. We’ll have the grandest of them all.

Chorus

The barmaid kept us going. She kept us well supplied.

We drank and drank to our hearts content but couldn’t drink her dry.

So, Lord now can you tell me, have I been so wrong

To be out here with all my friends dancin’ and singin’ songs.

Chorus

I don’t remember all that much. What happened late last night?

But I do remember stumblin’ home in the early mornin’ light.

Old Sam, that man, I must have done him wrong

‘Cause he left me down here on my knees prayin’ to the porcelain Gods!
