Lemme tell you a story a man named Johnny Tarr He was a drinking son of a preacher at the bar
Lager the tap Or shots of Paddy from the He open his throttle And throw back a As quick as the Devil himself, Johnny
And the word got That Johnny was no pretender From Claire to they'd lock up the beer When Johnny on a bender
Down at Dickey The Rising Sun, or at the He was drinking at seven, by ten to Well, all the booze would be gone, Johnny
And even if you saw it yourself, you believe it But I wouldn't trust a like me, if I were you Sure I wasn't there, I I have an alibi I it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true
It was in the morning On a and rainy night walked into the Castle Bar Looking to get
He had money in his He had in his eye He said, "Get up off your And set up the I'm drinking place dry"
Now all the boozers They were soon broken When Johnny off six And he was only getting
down the pints Knockin' em like candy He was lookin' to be drinkin' all night Then brought out the brandy, Johnny Tarr
And even if you saw it yourself, you believe it But I wouldn't trust a like me, if I were you I wasn't there, I swear I have an alibi I heard it from a man who knows a who says it's true
Johnny drank the whole bottle Had another or two When it no impression He started a session with Murphy's Millennium
He was waiting for his When his face turned Jesus, fell down After only
And you could've heard a pin the crowd let out a roar It took five women To lift off the floor
The looked him over And said, "Better call the But it's not you're thinkin' It wasn't the drinkin' this man died of thirst" Tarr
And even if you saw it yourself, you believe it But I wouldn't a person like me, if I were you Sure I wasn't there, I swear I an alibi I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says it's
And even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't it But I wouldn't a person like me, if I were you Sure I wasn't there, I swear I an alibi I heard it from a man who knows a fella who it's true
