LyricMeaning

A Toast
Darby O'Gill

Youve all got your brothers, your comrades and lovers

Your friends, your companions, your partners in crime

And the girls that you meet in the pub or the street

Thatll set you to singin or writin in rhyme

One or two of them stay, one or two pass away

And the rest of them fade like a dream that is lost

And we watch them walk out without raisin a shout

Without realizin or counting the cost


Chorus:

Fill me jar up with porter, me times gettin shorter

Ill sing about Michael, and Conor and Merv

But I faith need the stout for to get the words out

For to Whet me oul whistle and get up the nerve


Now Merv you recall wasnt handsome or tall

But a cracker, a snapper, a divilish sort

Oul Nick would stand by with a tear in his eye

When Merv played his box just to tease him for sport

He was all full o passion, but when he got lashin

He lost all his money, his wits and his luck

So to save his own life he went back to his wife

And he traded his box for a bakery truck




Conor from Cork came up lookin for work

A masterful man with a jar or a row

He and Susan came by to give Darby a try

It started them singin, theyre still singin now

Oh, wasnt it grand when they sat with the band

And delighted us all with their laughter and smiles

But they went back home; they left us alone

And theyre so hard to see over six-thousand miles


Cancer reached out its hand and it stole from the band

The finest man ever God made from the start

Michael was brave as he marched to his grave

With a smile on his face and a song in his heart

With a shot of surprise we can hear his voice rise

As the song is all done and the plause starts to let

He says: Fill up me jar, set it there at the bar

And Ill come for a toast when Im done with this set
