The Night That Went On For Days

(álbum: Soft Ground - 2021)

Oh, the drink went in, the sense went out
When the jukebox played, we jumped about
If a boy got smart he got himself thrown out
But the craic was had now, there's no doubt

On the night, the night, the night that went down
For days, the night, the night
When we all lost our way, that's right
Till you hear more, there's nothing more to say
About the night that went on for days

Oh, the sun came up on Inishmore
We were sleeping flat out on the floor
Till the barman burst in through the door
Said, "Morning lads, would you like one more?"

On the night, the night, the night that went down
For days, the night, the night
When we all lost our way, that's right
Till you hear more, there's nothing more to say
About the night that went on for days

And then Johnny played his old banjo
And we all sang songs we didn't know
Then we stamped our feet to Cotton-Eyed Joe, yeehaw
Now the spirits were high but the key was low

Now was it three, was it five? (Six)
Lost count the day since we'd arrived
It was time to go but we survived
Ah, the greatest night to be alive

Yeah, the night, the night, the night that went down
For days, the night, the night
When we all lost our way, that's right
Till you hear more, there's nothing more to say
About the night that went on for days
