Well, seeing as St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow ~ This week's song will be for that. Anybody else got any plans to celebrate tomorrow night? Me, I'm heading to a great little Irish Pub in Gettysburg, PA for some good grub, some good booze and a good time.
This week will be an Irish drinking song (Hey, what else would you want for St. Patty's day?!)
On to the song and an Irish blessing at the end.
Drink And Fight
By Flogging Molly
Enjoy and if you know the words, Sing along...
Well I stumbled and I am all drunk and full of smoke,
My wife said, "I've had enough, I'm sick, thats it, get out!"
So I stumbled down to Kelly's Pub across the edge of town,
And I told the boys me story, and we had another round.
(One, Two, Three, Four!)
We'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight! Hey!
We'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight! Hey!
And if I see a pretty girl, I'll 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! Hey!
We'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight! Hey!
And if I see a pretty girl, I'll 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 I'm told,
I gave her my heart, and she gave me a cold,
So now I sit, standing here out in the pouring rain,
I'll stumble back to Kelly's Pub and cry away me pain.
We'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight! Hey!
We'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight! Hey!
And if I see a pretty girl, I'll sleep with her tonight!
We'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!

Have a safe and happy St. Patrick's Day folks!
