The Keg of Brandy Songtext
von Karan Casey

I′m always drunk and I'm seldom sober
In constant roving from town to town
But I am old now and my sporting is over
So Molly a stór won′t you lay me down

Lay my head on a keg of brandy
It is my fancy I do declare
For while I'm drinking I'm always thinking
Of lovely Molly from the County Clare


The ripest apple is the soonest rotten
And the warmest love is the soonest cold
A young man′s fancies are soon forgotten
So beware young maid′s and don't make so bold

Lay my head on a keg of brandy
It is my fancy I do declare
For while I′m drinking I'm always thinking
Of lovely Molly from the County Clare

It′s youth and folly makes young men marry
It makes them tarry a long long day
What can't be cured love must be endured love
So farewell darling I am going away


Lay my head on a keg of brandy
It is my fancy I do declare
For while I′m drinking I'm always thinking
Of lovely Molly from the County Clare
