Drink It Up Men (1993 Digital Remaster) - The Dubliners

At the pub at the crossroads

There's whiskey and beer

There's brandy strong cognac

That's aging for years

But for killing the thirst

And for easing the gout

There's nothing at all beats a pint of good stout

Drink it up men it's long after ten

At the pub on the crossroads I first went astray

There I drank enough drink for to fill Galway Bay

Going up in the morning I wore out me shoes

Going up to the cross for the best of good booze

Drink it up men it's long after ten

Some folk's o'er the water think bitter is fine

And others the swear by the juice of the vine

But there's nothing

That's squeezed from the grape or the hop

Like the black liquidation

With the froth on the top

Drink it up men it's long after ten

I've travelled in England

I've travelled in France

At the sound of good music

I'll sing or I'll dance

So hear me then mister

And pour me one more

If I can't drink it up

Then throw me out the door

Drink it up men it's long after ten

It's Guinness's porter that has me this way

For it's sweeter than

Buttermilk and stronger then tea

And when in the morning I feel kind a rough

Me curse on lord Iveagh who brews the damn stuff

Drink it up men it's long after ten

Drink it up men it's long after ten
