Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
Chorus:
Oh, no I’m wrecked again
Take me away from the pain and the suffering
Oh, no I’m wrecked again
I’ll go to the pub no more, oh
I had one drink, then only one more
I finished with three and then I had four
There’s no point in lying, I’ve had it . . . I’m dying
I really don’t care anymore He doesn’t care anymore
Chorus
I can’t stand up, my head is too sore
I’d like to lie down, but I’d fall off the floor
I’m sweating and cold . . . and I’m ill . . . and I’m old
And I’d go but I can’t find the door He can’t find the door
Chorus
Did . . . I . . . have a good time
Was the killer the whiskey, the beer or the wine
Did . . . I . . . step out of line, yes . . . I . . . stepped out of line
I must have been out of my mind He must’ve been out of his mind
Chorus
Good-bye cruel world, ring the last bell
One evening in heaven next morning in hell
I’m spinning round bravely but nothing can save me
Adieu, good-bye, fare thee well Good-bye, fare thee well
Chorus
