Great version. I’ve always struggled to make this work acoustic but the way you’ve worked the rhythm track is brilliant! Thank you for sharing
This version is massive🇮🇪🇮🇪
Best version I've heard.
Well, Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
Played it from the nighttime to the peaceful early morn
It soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
And they all looked very happy in the morning
Well, Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
Where the Elephant Man broke strong men's necks, they'd had too many Powers
I'm sad to see the grieving of the people that I'm leaving
And he took the road for God knows in the morning
We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
I'm sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
Well, the years went on and times they changed, I grew to be a man
I learned to love the virtues of the Sally MacLennane
Well, I took to beers and drank the jeers, and I fell back home at dawn
And I ended up a barman in the morning
Well, I took the hump and played the pump and watered whiskey down
I spoke of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
And some people left for Heaven without warning
We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
I'm sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
When Jimmy came back home, he was surprised that they were gone
He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
Some people, they're afraid to croak, but Jimmy drank until he choked
Took the road for Heaven in the morning
We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
I'm sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
