Joseph Mchugh

[Verso 1] G C G Come all ye young fellows, who travel the land, D G In search of the craic with guitar in your hand. C G Go down to Liscannor, in the County of Clare, D G Sure you'll find a pub in it, that's ever so rare C G Go up to McHugh's shop the center of town, D G You'll get a warm welcome from Joseph on down C G The one-legged canary will sing how'd ye do, D G In the seven-day license of Joseph Mchugh. D G Fill 'em up round the house now, says Joseph McHugh [Verso 2] G C G You'll meet men from Moher, Lisdoon, and Renine D G Judges from Lahinch, and an odd in between. C G Sure a tinker from Tulla drops in for a glass, D G A box of rat poison and oats for his ass. C G Joe strolls up the bar like a captain on deck, D G Well, he don't tip his cap, and he don't give a wreck, C G If you're Irish, or Spanish, or Russian, or Jew, D G You'll get a warm welcome from Joseph McHugh. D G Fill 'em up round the house now, says Joseph McHugh. [Verso 3] G C G Well he sells streaky bacon all covered in salt, D G To ward off blue-bottles from making a haul. C G Now he has cups for coursing, some say that's not fair, D G But Liscannor is famous for chasing the hare. C G He's a bachelor gay, at the market I hear, D G He may take a wife by the end of the year, C G But if his greyhound has pups, you can say tooraloo, D G For he'll never get married, this Joseph McHugh. D G Fill 'em up round the house now, says Joseph McHugh. [Verso 4] G C G Well there now, you have it, this song I declare, D G About this wee pub in the sweet county Clare. C G Where time has stood still, and the auld ways remain, D G And they laugh at computers and mad college brains. C G So if you're in trouble, find yourself in a jam, D G With the wife, or a greyhound, or a half-pound of ham, C G You can do a lot worse, the truth I'll tell you, D G Than to visit Liscannor and Joseph McHugh. D G Fill 'em up round the house now, says Joseph McHugh.
