about

O what a piece of work is man, how noble and how strong,
Whose charity and intellect the bards enshrine in song.
And yet for all his qualities, how quick it comes to nought,
For the devil's drink, it will reveal the inner rotten sot.
The devil's drink can turn a man into a dancing bear,
Like Delilah did to Sampson when she cut away his hair.
You may ask how the devil's drink subdues the mighty man;
'Tis subtle, so I'll try to tell as plainly as I can

At Happy Hour, the mighty man, he swallows down the devil's drink.
With the 2nd round, the blood is warm, and then the belly starts to think.
The following round, it leads the man to another round, and then again;
By closing time, the devil's drink has gone and swallowed up the man.

The devil's drink is like a girl who winks and bats her eyes,
Caressing you seductively, while telling pretty lies.
And the more you listen to her voice, the harder 'tis to see
That you're wrapped around her finger, feeling as pow'rful as can be.

At Happy Hour, the mighty man, he swallows down the devil's drink.
With the second round, the blood is warm,
And then the belly starts to think.
The following round, it leads the man to another round, and then again;
By closing time, the devil's drink has gone and swallowed up the man.

My wicked mistress, devil's drink, how heartless and how cruel!
She drinks away me money, then she plays me for a fool.
She doesn't love me, this I know; she'll kill me in the end.
What a wretch am I! For come tomorrow, I'll seek her arms again!

At Happy Hour, the mighty man, he swallows down the devil's drink.
With the 2nd round, the blood is warm, and then the belly starts to think.
The following round, it leads the man to another round, and then again;
By closing time, the devil's drink has gone and swallowed up the man.

Mighty McGuiggans image

Mighty McGuiggans Fort Wayne, Indiana

The Mighty McGuiggans combine lively Irish fun with originals, plus tunes from the likes of Flogging Molly, The Pogues, Dropkick Murphys, etc.

Gritty, real and beautiful, like a single malt scotch or a fine stout. Raucous drinking songs, beautiful ballads, hilarious songs that tell a story, & some pirate tunes to boot!

Every day is almost St. Paddy's Day! ... more
