Gaelic Storm - Johhny Tarr Lyrics

Lemme tell you a little story about a man named Johnny Tarr

He was a hard drinking son of a preacher always at the bar

Lager from the tap or shots of Paddy from the shelf

He could open his throttle & throw back a bottle as quick as the devil himself! Johnny Tarr!

And the Word got around that Johnny Tarr was no pretender

From Clare to here they'd lock up the beer when Johnny went on a bender

Down at Dickey Mac's the Rising Sun or at the Swan

If he was drinking at seven by ten to eleven well all the booze would be gone! Johnny Tarr!

Chorus:

And Even if you saw it yourself you wouldn't believe it

I wouldn't trust a person like me if I were you

Sure I wasn't there I swear I have an alibi

I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true!

It was nine in the morning on a cold and rainy night

Johnny walked into the Castle Bar looking to get tight

He had money in his pocket he had whiskey in his eye

He said: "Get up off your asses and set up the glasses I'm drinking this place dry!"

Now all the serious boozers they were soon broken hearted

When Johnny finished off six and he was only getting started

Guzzling down the pints knockin' em back like candy

He was lookin' alright to be drinkin' all night then Nora brought out the Brandy! Johnny Tarr!

Chorus

Johnny drank the whole damn bottle had another pint or two

When it made no impression he started a session with Murphy's Millenium Brew

He was waiting for his pint when his face turned green

Jesus Johnny fell down after only fifteen!

You could have heard a pin drop then the crowd let out a roar

It took five Cork women to lift Johnny off the floor!

The doctor looked him over and said you better call the hearse:

But I know what you're thinkin' it wasn't the drinkin' this man died of thirst! Johnny Tarr!
