Riding The High Stool

歌曲歌詞

I was riding the high stool expandin' and expoundin'

On the price of rice in Siera Leone

And the height of the beef mountain

As to where did Jack Doyle meet Movita

How many wives did the Aga Khan

Dismountin' from my high horse

I couldn't find the handle of the bar room door

Yeah sure I knew it all then up again' the counter

I'd weigh you up in ten seconds flat

Ya see I was a great judge of character

My instincts always tellin' me exactly what kinda guy I got

'Til I turned to go that is

Whereupon I couldn't tell my arse from my well-bent elbow

I was heading down the streets of Laredo singin' Red Sails in the Sunset

Sure it was no wonder we knew it all then

Twas like drinkin' porter off a sore leg sez Ber Murphy

"Would ye ever ask me bollix" sez Kenny Barry

I showed them the colour of me money when I got back from Katanga

There's no business like show business sez Titch Maher in Flood's bar

After snaggin' turnips for the Holy Fathers

But after it got dark much later;

Down by the pinkeen bridge

I cried buckets in the river

When Mickser sang "Oh gentle Swallows"
