Emerald Blues Lyrics

Emerald Blues lyrics

Me and Mary Callahan we go a long way back

God knows how many times I
tried to get her in the sack

One night she said just give me time till
next Saint Patricks day

I'll make your waiting all worthwhile I'll let
you have your way



But then she left me for some man and now she
runs a house down in Amsterdam

The few times that I'm sober I find it
hard to see

She had all that loving in her but she wouldn't give it to
me



But oooh! There's still whiskey in the whiskey jar

Hey,
hey! Drink up be merry

Oooh! Free the whiskey from the whiskey jar

Hey, hey! Goodbye to Mary 



Then came Mary number two her last
name was O' Toole

She said that she would take my name she'd be my
Emerald jewel

I should have known right then and there it wasn't meant to
be

The next day she was on a boat across the Irish sea



She
left me for some foreign man and now she raises kids down in Pakistan

She
said she wanted freedom, needed to be free

I guess her kind of freedom
meant breaking free from me



But oooh! There's still whiskey in the
whiskey jar

Hey, hey! Drink up be merry

Oooh! Free the whiskey from
the whiskey jar

Hey, hey! Goodbye to Mary



Sometimes if I get
sober I find it hard to see

They had all that loving in them but they
wouldn't give it to me



But oooh! There's still whiskey
