At the pub on the cross-roads there's whis-key and beer
There's bran-dy from Co-gnac that's fra-grant but dear
But for kil-ling the thirst and for rais-ing the gout There's noth-ing at all beats
a pint of good stout Drink it up men, it's long af-ter ten
At the pub on the cross-roads I first went a-stray
There I drank e-nough drink for to fill Gal-way Bay
Go-ing up to the mourn-ing I wore out me shoes Go-ing up to the cross
for the best of good booze Drink it up men, it's long af-ter ten
Some folk o'er the wa-ter think bit-ter is fine
And oth-ers they swear by the juice of the wine
But there's noth-ing that's squeezed from the grape or the hop Like the black liq-ui-da-tion
with the froth on the top Drink it up men, it's long af-ter ten
I've trav-elled in Eng-land, I've trav-elled in France
At the sound of good mu-sic I'll sing or I'll dance
So hear me then mis-ter and pour me one more If I can't drink it up then
throw me out the door Drink it up men, it's long af-ter ten
It's Guin-ness-'s por-ter that has me this way
For it's sweet-er than but-ter-milk and strong-er than tea
But when in the morn-ing I feel kind of rough Me cur-sin' lord I be who brews the damned stuff
Drink it up men, it's long af-ter ten Drink it up men, it's long af-ter ten
