11.Kilkenny Man

Sure as i was borne in ireland, i was weaned on whiskey, but
raised on gin
Drinkin' so long since i was born, never been so high as a kite
in a storm
Hey ho, whataya know, when you're outta good whiskey, you're out
on the road
Way to kilkenny where liquor is plenty and people are friendly
wherever you go
Hey, ho, whataya know, when your glass is empty, you're bound to
go
Back on the job just to earn a few bob for good liquor and grub
at the kilkenny pub

Well i left my home when i was twelve. i was on the road like a
bat out of hell
Looking for work in the county of cork with a thick-headed dummy
named paddy o'rourke
Hey ho, whataya know, when you're outta good whiskey, you're out
on the road
Way to kilkenny where liquor is plenty and people are friendly
wherever you go
Hey, ho, whataya know, when your glass is empty, you're bound to
go
Back on the job just to earn a few bob for good liquor and grub
at the kilkenny pub

Kickin' and splashin' and pissin' and cussin' and guzzlin' and
laughin' and blowin' yer load
Dancin' and singin' shilaylees are swingin' we're arm in arm as
we're staggerin' home
Diddlee-aye, diddlee-aye, diddlee-aye, ay
Diddlee-aye, diddlee-aye, diddlee-aye, ay

Kickin' and splashin' and pissin' and cussin' and guzzlin' and
laughin' and blowin' yer load
Dancin' and singin' shilaylees are swingin' we're arm in arm as
we're staggerin' home
Diddlee-aye, diddlee-aye, diddlee-aye, ay
Diddlee-aye, diddlee-aye, diddlee-aye, ay

Hey ho, whataya know, when you're outta good whiskey, you're out
on the road
Way to kilkenny where liquor is plenty and people are friendly
wherever you go
Hey, ho, whataya know, when your glass is empty, you're bound to
go
Back on the job just to earn a few bob for good liquor and grub
at the kilkenny pub
