about

A aong about an old character Mick Costello. A man full of wit, old songs and sayings.

lyrics

His head held high on the way to the pub
where craic was had and beer was good
with tales of wit and songs so gritty
he welcomed one and all to the granite city

with a Mouse in the house
a Carty and a Mac
a bunch of auld ones having the craic
a piper and a painter, a maker and a faker
all together to drink the cratur

All together into the night
the whiskey flowed til it was light
All together into the night
much to Mrs O's delight

He made a sermon of an old saying
with open arms like he was praying
he spat on his hands, rubbed them together
fingers all yellow like the hay in the meadow

Talked of the day and the change in the weather
What could be done had it only been better
a simple man but he sure was clever
and birds of a feather they'd flock together

with the Doc on the mic
a priest on a bike
a bunch a young hippies high as a kite
a farmers wife, the talk was rife,
all together into the night

All together into the night
the whiskey flowed until it was light
all together into the night
much to Mrs O's delight
