"Here's a Health to the Company"; traditional stuff (My fav version is by the Chieftans)

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never all meet here again

Here's a health to the company and one to my lass
Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never all meet here again

Here's a health to the dear lass that I love so well
Her style and her beauty, sure none can excel
There's a smile upon her countenance as she sits on my knee
Sure there's no one in in this wide world as happy as we

Our ship lies at harbor, she's ready to dock
I hope she's safe landed without any shock
If ever we should meet again by land or by sea
I will always remember your kindness to me
No friend ever served me, and no enemy ever wronged me, whom I have not repaid in full. -- Sulla's Epitaph

From Cold Chisel's [fine old Aussie band] Cheap Wine and a Three Day Growth:


Sitting on the beach drinkin' rocket fuels Oh Yeah!
Spent the whole night breakin' all the rules Oh Yeah!
Mending every minute of the day before
Watching the ocean, watching the shore
Watching the sunrise, and thinkin' there could never be more
Never be more
Anytime you want to find me
I ain't got a telephone
I'm another world away
But I always feel at home, with my

"Moonshiner" The Uncle Tupelo version (from March 16-20 1992) just rips my heart out...
hell, I'm tearin' up just thinking about it.

I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
and I spent all my money on whiskey and beer
and I go to some hollow and set up my still
if whiskey don't kill me Lord, I don't know what will

and I go to some barroom to drink with my friends
where the women they can't follow to see what I spend
God bless them pretty women; I wish they was mine
with breath as sweet as the dew on the vine

let me eat when I'm hungry; let me drink when I'm dry
two dollars when I'm hard up; religion when I die
the whole world is a bottle and life is but a dram
when the bottle gets empty Lord, it sure ain't worth a damn
"When I'm not drinkin'... I'm thinkin' 'bout drinkin'..." — The Meat Purveyors

Let's get drunk today/Let's get high tonight/Maybe in the morning, things will be alright. -Afroman

Now every morning just before breakfast/I don't want no coffee or tea/Just me and my good buddy Weiser, that's all I ever need
The other night I lay sleeping/And I woke full of terrible dreams/So I called up my pal TJD/And his partner Jimmy Beam
And we drank alone, with nobody else. - George Thorogood
there are worse things than
being alone
but it often takes decades
to realize this
and most often
when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
than
too late.

Bartender, I really did it this time/
Broke my parole to have a good time/
When I got home it was 6 AM/
The Door was locked, so I kicked it in/
She was tripping on the bills/
I think she was high on some pills/
She threw my shit out into the yard/
Then called me a bum and slapped me real hard/
And in my drunken stupor, I did what I should have never done/
Now I'm sitting here, talking to you, drunk and on the run.
(refrain)
I'm sitting at a bar on the inside/
Waiting for my ride on the outside/
She broke my heart in the trailer park/
So I jacked the keys to her fucking car/
Then I crashed that piece of shit and stepped away.
(refrain)
You know, I'll probably get ten years/
So just give me beers 'til they get here/
Yeah, I know the sun is coming up/
And y'all are probably getting ready for closing up/
But I'm trying to drown my soul/
I'm tired of this life on the dirt road/
Everything that I've loved is gone/
And I'm tired of hanging on.
(refrain)
-Rehab, The Bartender Song

I'm just see-through jaded/
Super faded/
Out of my mind.
-Alica in Chains, Heaven Beside You

George Jones - Tennesse Whiskey

And you're as smooth as TENNESSEE WHISKEY
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And I stay stoned on your love all the time

David Allan Coe & George Jones - This Bottle(In My Hand)

Last week he spent his whole paycheck on whiskey
And I know on friday night he'll do it all again
Oh, he'll drink till he falls down then he'll order one more round
And then go home with that bottle in his hand.
Chorus:
And the only thing I can hold on to is this bottle in my hand
I'll know I'll never have to share it with any other man
I'm so glad you introduced us and I'll do the best I can
To be faithful to this bottle in my hand.
--- Instrumental ---
She told George that changing diaper can sure become a drag
And the clean the house and cooking for him is not ger kind of bag
She said he needed someone who will love and understand
Then she left him with that bottle in his hand.
Chorus:
And the only thing I can count on now is this bottle in my hand
I'll know I'll never have to share it with any other man
And I'm so glad you introduced us and I'll do the best I can
To be faithful to this bottle in my hand.
Yes, We'll be faithful with this bottle in our hand.
The man who intoxicates himself on bad whisky is sometimes moved to kill his wife and set his house on fire, but the victim of applejack is capable of blowing up a whole town with dynamite and of reciting original poetry to every surviving inhabitant.

And get loud.
And all my rowdy friends
Have settled down.

David Allen Coe - DRUNK:

How do you spell relief?
I get D-R-U-N-K
...

I don't need no doctor
Tell me what is wrong
I can fill my own perscriptions
And it lasts me all night long
It's the perfect medication
For an ailment such as mine
I forget about the tears I've cried
When the whisky hits my mind

etc

I don't give a fuck what you think,
Cuz what I want is another drink
Gimme a shot of whiskey and a Guinness Stout,
Cuz that's what drinking is all about
I'm a drunk that's my claim to fame,
Most bartenders know my name,
Gimme a shot of Jager and a black and tan,
Can't shut me off don't you understand
This ones goes to the Boston Drunx, Skinheads, Longhairs, and all the punx.
Homebrew crew, cider up punx here's to me and you

Drink, Drink, Drink, Drink some more
Drink, Drink, Drink, 'Till I'm on the floor
Drink, Drink, Drink, Drink some more
Can't get enough gotta get some more!!
