Lemme tell you a little story about a man named Johnny Tarr | |
He was a hard drinking son of a preacher, always at the bar | |
Lager from the tap or shots of Paddy from the shelf | |
He could open his throttle and throw back a bottle as quick as the devil himself! Johnny Tarr | |
And the word got around that Johnny Tarr was no pretender, | |
From Claire to here they'd lock up the beer when Johnny went on a bender, | |
Down at Dickey Mack's, the Rising Sun, or at the Swan | |
He was drinking at seven by ten to eleven well all the booze would be gone! Johnny Tarr! | |
Chorus: | |
And even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it, | |
But I wouldn't trust a person like me, if I were you | |
Sure I wasn't there, I swear I have an alibi | |
I heard it from a man who knows a fella’ who says it's true! | |
It was nine in the morning, on a cold and rainy night, | |
Johnny walked into the Castle Bar, looking to get tight | |
He had money in his pocket, he had whiskey in his eye, | |
He said: "Get up off your asses and set up your glasses, I'm drinking this place dry!" | |
Now all the serious boozers, they were soon broken hearted | |
When Johnny finished off six and he was only getting started | |
Guzzling down the pints, knockin' 'em back like candy, | |
He was lookin' alright to be drinkin' all night, then Nora brought out the brandy! Johnny Tarr! | |
And even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it, | |
But I wouldn't trust a person like me, if I were you | |
Sure I wasn't there I swear I have an alibi | |
I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true! | |
Here we go Sheila! | |
Johnny drank the whole damn bottle, had another pint or two, | |
When it made no impression he started a session with Murphy's Millennium Brew | |
He was waiting for his pint when his face turned green; | |
Jesus, Johnny fell down after only fifteen! | |
You could have heard a pin drop, then the crowd let out a roar, | |
It took five Cork women to lift Johnny off the floor! | |
The doctor looked him over, said you'd better call the hearse: | |
But it's not what you're thinkin' It wasn't the drinkin'! | |
This man died of thirst! Johnny Tarr! | |
And even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it, | |
But I wouldn't trust a person like me, if I were you | |
Sure I wasn't there I swear I have an alibi | |
I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true! | |
And even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it, | |
I wouldn't trust a person like me, if I were you | |
Sure I wasn't there, but I swears I has an alibi | |
I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true! |
