=============================
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
