Damien Dempsey Jar Song Lyrics

Jar Song Lyrics

You look around, you say what's up

You see another Irishman taking to the 'sup

You see that's the way

That's the way they came



You look around, you say what's up

You see another Paddy and he taking to the 'sup

You see that's the way

That's the way they came



Take me out on the jar today

We'll drink stout and we'll be okay

We might get out of our holes tonight

We'll get in a fight, alright



Brendan Behan was a friend of mine

He loved the bars and he drink cheap wine

Get outta his mind with a lad and lass

He'd ride them both and then go to mass



Shane McGowan loves Dublin town

I drank with him once and woke up on the ground

Maybe someday we'll meet up and do brunch

Some beers and a shandy too



Luke Kelly meant a lot to me

He sang from in here and then swigged his beer

If ordering pints was a crime

He'd be in Mountjoy for eternity



Christy Moore was an awful hoor

He'd drink poteen 'til the bogs were clean

He brought me great joy since I was a boy

The day he went dry, the publican cried



Take me out on the jar today

We'll drink stout and we'll be okay

We might get out of our homes tonight

We'll get in a fight, alright



Take me out on the jar today
