Seven Nations - Rare Auld Time Lyrics

It's 3 am and we're down at bridie's
The music's grand the craic it flows.
With wally putt and Gard O'Brien
The best of times we've ever known.

So raise your glasses to the heavens.
The O'Reilly's and the Nevens
It;'s just as well a chara
The tabels are nailed down.
Paddy Murphy's on his 2nd.
With Mc Duff and the reverend.
We're having ourselves a rare auld time.

Now Tom O'neil is going crazy.
He's doin' a jig with the wife.
She doesn't know it's fridays money.
He spends at bridie's thursday night.

Now ashtrays fly.
And chairs fall over.
There'll be hell to pay by daylight.
But we don't care.
Tis surely liftin,
to see the glint in old tom's eye.

So raise your glasses to the heavens.
The O'Reilly's and the Nevens
It;'s just as well a chara
The tabels are nailed down.
Paddy Murphy's on his fourth.
With O'conner and Mc Court.
we're havin ourselve a rare auld time.

All's quiet now in Danny's corner.
A drop of dew was his taste.
We miss the man since he met the coroner.
His humor never went to waste.
The story goes, he walks by moonshine.
The auld one's hear him every night.
They say he sings, down by the ditches.
Raisin' hell till the break of light.

So raise your glasses to the heavens.
The O'Reilly's and the Nevens
It;'s just as well a chara
The tabels are nailed down.
Paddy Murphy's on his 8th
with Jimmy Joyce and Yeats.
We're havin' our selves a rare auld time.

Sweet Mary Clare has roses bloomin.
The lads are givin her the eye.
But she just wants to get back with patrick
After tellin him goodbye.

Now Jerry Byrne has called for cuines.
His Kate has fallin in a trance.
A voice so pure.
T'would give ya shivers
But soon she'll break into a dance.

So raise your glasses to the heavens
The O'Reily's and the Nevens.
It's just as well a chara.
The tables are nailed down.
Paddy Murphy's on his 9th
Dylan Thomas, Oscar Wilde.
We're havin' ourselves a rare auld time.
Good ol' Murphy's on his 10th
Jaysus Behan's really bent
it's just as well a chara the tabele's are nailed down.
Sean O'Casey Kavanaugh
how the hell is ballina?
we're ahvin ourselve a rare auld time.
Now it's Murphy's on his back
Behan's having one on jack
it's just as well a chara the table's are nailed down
now it's behan's on the floor
Murphy's callin out for more.
We're havin ourselves a rare auld (x3)
time
