Lyrics

I left school at 16
To work on the factory floor
I worked alongside old men
Who had been there since the war
They taught me everything I know
They taught me right from wrong
They poured the beer right down my neck
And sang me their old song
My education was ablaze
Of drinking nights and drinking days
Getting drunk falling down and
Sober thoughts were few
The atmosphere was pints of beer
Whiskey jar and steel guitar
We raised a toast and sand a song of down another one
I sat my life on the drinking chair
By the bar by the pump by the barrel
Where I met a girl one drunken night
By the name of Annie McCarrol
She took me on for what I was
She tried to change me something new
But my drinking days and my drinking ways
I wasn’t right for you
Yes you are so pretty and you’ll make a lovely wife
But I’d rather be a bachelor and lead a drinking life
Yes you are so pretty you’d play the perfect marriage game
But I’d rather be a bachelor and drink my self insane
Yes you are so pretty and you’ll make a lovely wife
But I’d rather be a bachelor and lead a drinking life
Yes you are so pretty you’d play the perfect marriage game
But I’d rather be a bachelor and drink my self insane
