作词 : Traditional | |
Let your quacks and newspapers be cutting their capers | |
About curing the vapors the scratch and the gout | |
With their medical potions, their serums and their lotions | |
Upholding their notions, they're mighty put out. | |
Who can tell the true physic to all that's pathetic | |
And pitch to the divil, cramp, colic and spleen | |
You'll know it | |
I think if you take a big drink | |
With your mouth to the brink of a jug of poteen | |
So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature | |
For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys | |
Oh what botheration, no dose in the nation | |
Can give consolation like poteen me boys. | |
No liquid cosmetic to lovers athletic | |
Or bodies pathetic can give such a bloom | |
As the sweet by the powers in the garden of flowers | |
Ever gave their own bowers such a darling perfume | |
And this liquid so rare if you willingly share | |
To be taking your hair when it's frizzled and dead | |
Oh the sod has the merit to yield the true spirit | |
So strong it will shake all the hairs from your head | |
Then stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature | |
For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys | |
Oh since its perfection, no doctor's direction | |
Can cleanse the complexion like poteen me boys | |
While a child in me cradle, me nurse with her ladle | |
Was filling my mouth with a notion of pap | |
When a drop from her bottle fell into my throttle | |
I stumbled and capered clean out of her lap | |
On the floor | |
I lay crawlin' and screaming and bawling ' | |
Til me mother and father were called to the fore | |
All sobbing and sighing they feared | |
I was dying | |
But soon found | |
I only was crying for more. | |
So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature | |
For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys | |
Oh lord how they'd chuckle if babes in their truckle | |
They only could suckle on poteen me boys | |
Through my youthful aggression, through times of depression | |
My childhood's impression still clung to my mind | |
And at school or at college the basis of knowledge | |
I never could gulp 'til with whiskey combined | |
And as older | |
I'm growing times ever bestowin' | |
On Erin's potation, a flavor so fine | |
And how ere they may lecture on jove and his nectar | |
Itself is the only true liquid divine | |
So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature | |
For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys | |
Oh lord, 'tis the right thing for courting and fighting | |
There's nowt so exciting as poteen me boys. | |
Come guess me this riddle, what beats pipes and fiddle | |
What's hotter than mustard and milder than cream | |
What best wets your whistle, what's clearer than crystal | |
What's sweeter than honey and stronger than steam | |
What'll make the lame walk, what will make the dumb talk, | |
The elixir of life and philospher's stone | |
And what helped | |
Mr. Brunnell to build the | |
Thames Tunnel | |
Wasn't it poteen from ould | |
Inisowen So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature | |
For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys | |
Oh lord, it's no wonder, if lightning and thunder | |
Weren't made from the plunder of poteen me boys. | |
You maidens pathetic, with lovers athletic | |
For liquid cosmetic, you can't beat the drop | |
With a glow to your cheek, it will make your heart leap | |
It'll quiet a stallion or cure an old cob | |
At the mouth you would drool, be reduced to a fool | |
You'd kick up your heels and you'd peel to the buff | |
Then 'tis he'd be pathetic while you'd be athletic | |
If only you'd take a few drops of the stuff | |
So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature | |
For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys | |
For there's nothing like whiskey to make maidens frisky | |
It soon separates all the men from the boys. |
