marc gunn - i'll drink from dusk til dawn lyrics

Loading...

johnny awoke with an ache in his head
bad dreams had made him ill
and he grumbled as he dressed despite his duress
as he made his way to the mill

oh he never wanted to work that day
but the foreman had himself clear
so johnny dreamed of the eve to come
when he’d drink him beer after beer
singing…

“i’ll drink from dusk till dawn
i’ll drink a toast to day’s end
yes, i’ll drink from dusk till dawn
and i’ll drink to the health of me friends.”

it was a chilly morning, went straight to his bones
oh, he wishеd that he had him some ale
just onе fine glass of stout guinness
would hold him till the end of the trail

oh his mouth watered with the thought of ale
by the time he arrived he’d decide
that not even death could keep him away
from his friends and their favorite dive
they’d sing…
johnny worked hard all the day
his mind away drinking alone
and he told his friends of the pledge he’d made
and the fantasy that kept him afloat

“come h+ll or high water i’ll drink with you
nothing could keep me away.”
when the day came to end, he left with a friend
together they walked and they sang…

on the road they came to a bridge of rope
and there they met with a man
with a scythe in his hand and an evil grin
tw’as old death who cut johnny down

johnny’s friend crossed himself, swore it was the truth
as he retold the scene to the bar
and they all recalled johnny’s last words
“i’ll drink come h+ll or high water!”
he sang…

well, the door swung open, a cold wind blew in
and there stood a man unafraid
he called for a beer. they realized when near
it was johnny come back from the grave
he said, “you could keep me away from work
for there’s nothing i live for there
but i told you today of the pledge i made
you can’t keep a man from his beer,”
