Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

When I was young, a pub was a pub
\nWith mahogany tables and a sawdust floor
\nNothing fancy but plain enough
\nBut they don’t build pubs like that no more
\nThey’re pulling them down, the old pubs
\nAround the town, the old pubs
\nAnd the plastic’s a’ the go<\/p>\n

And the landlord kept his cellar well
\nWith a pint both heavy and strong
\nIt was a place to share your troubles, lads
\nA place for a bloody good song
\nThey’re pulling them down, the old pubs
\nAround the town, the old pubs
\nAnd the plastic’s a’ the go<\/p>\n

And weddings, funerals, births an’ all
\nThe old pubs were the best
\nGood times, bad times, war and peace
\nThe old pubs stood the test
\nThey’re pulling them down, the old pubs
\nAround the town, the old pubs
\nAnd the plastic’s a’ the go<\/p>\n

But now I’m old and things have changed
\nThe streets are flattened down
\nAnd the people in the pubs have gone like mist
\nOut to the edge of town
\nThey’re pulling them down, the old pubs
\nAround the town, the old pubs
\nAnd the plastic’s a’ the go<\/p>\n

They’re pulling them down, the old pubs
\nAround the town, the old pubs
\nAnd the plastic’s a’ the go<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
