Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!
Get thee to an Irish pub.
OK - I likely won’t be anywhere near an Irish pub today, despite being Irish on the paternal side. Work. Then home. Maybe some Jameson. Yes, the cold is feeling a little better.
Around this time, 11 years ago, we were awaiting the birth of my daughter and I wrote a bunch of limericks for a Guinness/The Cheiftains/Air Lingus contest. And I won! The prize was a bunch of Cheiftains CDs and some Guinness. Sadly, no trip to Ireland.
Slainte!

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long way from homePosted by: James at March 17, 2006 12:50 PM
If you don't like me, Just leave me alone
I eat when I'm hungry I drink when I'm dry
If moonshine don't kill me, I'll live till I dieI've been a moonshiner for many a year
I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
I'll go to some hollow and set up my still
I'll make you a gallon for a two-dollar billI'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long way from home
If you don't like me, Just leave me alone
I eat when I'm hungry I drink when I'm dry
If moonshine don't kill me, I'll live till I dieI'll go to some hollow in this count-ar-y
Ten gallons of wash - I can go on a spree
No woman to follow, the world is all mine
I love none so well as I love the moonshineI'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long way from home
If you don't like me, Just leave me alone
I eat when I'm hungry I drink when I'm dry
If moonshine don't kill me, I'll live till I dieMoonshine, dear moonshine, oh, how I love thee
You killed my poor father, but dare you try me
Bless all the moonshiners and bless the moonshine
Its breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vineI'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long way from home
If you don't like me, Just leave me alone
I eat when I'm hungry I drink when I'm dry
If moonshine don't kill me, I'll live till I die
Thanks for the Jameson's site. Well wishes and Up Dub!
