dubliners – the pub with no beer lyrics
it’s lonesome away from your kindred and all,
by the campfire at night where the wild dingos call,
but there’s nothing so lonesome, so dull or so drear,
than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer.
now the publican’s anxious for the quota to come,
there’s a faraway look on the face of the b-m,
the maid’s gone all cranky and the cook’s acting queer,
what a terrible place is a pub with no beer.
the stockman rides up with his dry, dusty throat,
he br–sts up to the bar, pulls a wad from his coat,
but the smile on his face quickly turns to a sneer,
when the barman says suddenly: “the pub’s got no beer!”
there’s a dog on the veranda, for his master he waits,
but the boss is inside, drinking wine with his mates,
he hurries for cover and he cringes in fear.
it’s no place for a dog, round a pub with no beer.
old billy, the blacksmith, for the first time in his life,
has gone home cold sober to his darling wife,
he walks in the kitchen; she says: “you’re early, me dear”
then he breaks down and he tells her, that the pub’s got no beer
oh, it’s lonesome away from your kindred and all,
by the campfire at night where the wild dingos call,
but there’s nothing so lonesome, so dull or so drear,
than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer.
