"A Night In Bushmills" lyrics

As I roved round the Antrim coast
Past ballycastle and torr head
At bushmills I stopped in a pub
And this the landlord said

Close the door and keep the heat in
Sit you down you're welcome here
Have a drop of bushmills whiskey
Smiles and laughter without fear

A turf fire burning in the grate
To warm the bones and keep you hale
I drew me fiddle from me pack
And played the swallow's tail

Close the door and keep the heat in
Sit you down you're welcome here
Have a drop of bushmills whiskey
Smiles and laughter without fear

Father Doyle and the reverend black
Won't be saving souls tonight
They're drinking whiskey joining in
To the devil's great delight

Close the door and keep the heat in
Sit you down you're welcome here
Have a drop of bushmills whiskey
Smiles and laughter without fear

Big bill the sailor sang a song
Of clipper ships and rolling seas
How life on board's a hard ould slog
And sailors on the spree

Close the door and keep the heat in
Sit you down you're welcome here
Have a drop of bushmills whiskey
Smiles and laughter without fear

Then someone shouted for a song
I sang the belle of Belfast town
They joined the fields of athenry
And the star of the co. down

Close the door and keep the heat in
Sit you down you're welcome here
Have a drop of bushmills whiskey
Smiles and laughter without fear

We sang and drank the night away
The craic was mighty all around
I'll not forget the friends I made
The night in bushmills town

Close the door and keep the heat in
Sit you down you're welcome here
Have a drop of bushmills whiskey
Smiles and laughter without fear
