The First Tuesday Song Lyrics And Chords |
Written By Martin Dardis. This one is about the first Tuesday of every month in Ireland ,when a state benefit is given to mothers of children under sixteen , A lot of this money is spent in the pub , this is my observation of first Tuesday's in Ireland. 'St. Michael's day' , or' Micky money day' is a 'nick name' for children's allowances day. The video is a recording done by Padraig Grimes.
I'm[C] sittin' at the bar , and[F] shoutin for[C] drink
Thinking that life's passed me[G] out,
[C] Drinkin' with dipso's , not[F] having to[C] think,
Strong whiskey and[G] pints of black[C] stout
[Chorus]
Of[F] father is this the[C] adventure you meant,
When I started on life's road to[G] ruin
Just[C] building up bricks and[F] mixing ce[C]ment
Strong whiskey and[G] pints of black stout
[2]
It's St. Michael's day and they won't have to pay
Young lassies with mini skirts tight
The first Tuesday is here and they're in for the beer
For the Bacardi and cheap splash of Coke
[Repeat Chorus]
Tommy's got the entrance fee, Paddy's flat broke
Deco's just won on the tote,
Johnny's dole didn't come, he's now on the bum
''Feckin liar he drank it last night''
There's fellas over there and they're stuck to the chair
It looks like they're in for the match
Giving grief to the telly , is it Liverpool or Kerry
More whiskey and pints of black stout
[Repeat Chorus]
The ballad group in the corner shouts for order
''Give the auld songs a bit of respect''
The whistler strikes up , a guitar gets a pluck
' The Lonesome Boatman' is drowning tonight.
[Repeat Chorus]
The auld barman calls time , and they make a bee-line
The first Tuesday has come to a close
And the clock strikes a gong , it's time to move on
As the band plays Red Is The Rose
[ Repeat Chorus]
I'm[C] sittin' at the bar , and[F] shoutin for[C] drink
Thinking that life's passed me[G] out,
[C] Drinkin' with dipso's , not[F] having to[C] think,
Strong whiskey and[G] pints of black[C] stout
[Chorus]
Of[F] father is this the[C] adventure you meant,
When I started on life's road to[G] ruin
Just[C] building up bricks and[F] mixing ce[C]ment
Strong whiskey and[G] pints of black stout
[2]
It's St. Michael's day and they won't have to pay
Young lassies with mini skirts tight
