"The Night That Went On For Days" lyrics
"The Night That Went On For Days"
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

While others stay together
Some will step in from the rain

The Shires - "On The Day I Die" On the day I die
You better dance, don't cry
Baby, I'll be leaving on a high
On the day I die
Find the keys to my old car
Pray it starts and take it for a drive
Roll the windows down
Turn the music...
Daryle Singletary - "A Thing Called Love" Six foot six he stood on the ground
Weighed two hundred and thirty five pounds
But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love
He was the kind of man that would gamble on luck
