The Pogues, the entire "Rum Sodomy and the Lash" album.

Particularly, "Sally MacLennane:"

Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn
He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
And they all looked very happy in the morning

Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks
When he'd had too many Powers
So sad to see the grieving of the people that he's 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
(Far away) sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane

The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man
I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane
I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn
And ended up a barman in the morning

I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
I talked 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
(Far away) sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (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 are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
And he 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
(Far away) sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane



Now, if that little tune doesn't make you want to pick up a pint of Guiness...

Its isn't a country song...but could you possibly go wrong with something titled "The Beer Song" by They Might Be Giants?

damn, now I want to get sh|tty.

You are all condemned for not saying Jimmy Buffet: ""Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw."

Shame, shame, shame.

Although I agree, I think any Jimmy Buffett song is good to get pasted listening to. I know I do

"High Balls" by Guttermouth. Its a catchy punk song.

Trout 05-29-02 05:59 AM

The greatest drinking song ever... "Home for a rest" by Spirit of the West (especially if you like fast Irish drinking songs).

you'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month
I've been drunk since i left
these so-called vacations
will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest

we arrived in december and london was cold
so we stayed in the bars
along charing cross road
we never saw nothin' but brass taps and oak
kept a shine on the bar
with the sleeves of our coats

-chorus-

euston station the train journey north
in the buffet car we lurched back and forth
past odd crooked dykes
through yorkshire's green fields
we were flung into dance
as the train jigged and reeled

you'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month
I've been drunk since i left
there so-called vacations
will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
take me home....

by the light of the moon she'd drift through the streets
a rare old perfume so seductive and sweet
she'd tease us and flirt as the pubs all closed down
then walk us on home and deny us a round

-chorus-

the gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb
and the spirits we drank are now ghosts in the room
I'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soon
and don't lift up my head
'till the the twelve bells at noon

you'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month
I've been drunk since i left
there so-called vacations
will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
take me home....

Two depressing drinking songs:

God Loves a Drunk - Richard Thompson
Moonshiner - Uncle Tupelo

Penny Lane 05-29-02 10:44 PM

Um, also not country, but "Beer" by Reel Big Fish is a great drinking song.

shaun3000 05-30-02 12:59 AM

Wiskey River, by Willie Nelson

And Thunderball: It's Tom T. Hall, not Tom Hall. :)

I like beer,
it makes me a jolly good fellow...

shaggstheclown 05-30-02 12:44 PM

It don't matter what song is playing as long as I got an ice cold lager in my hand

hippochris 05-30-02 03:22 PM

Beer - Reel Big Fish

TeeSeeJay 05-31-02 12:00 PM

Not so country, but I think "I'm Gonna be (500 Miles)" by the Proclaimers is a good drinking song.

the aftermath 05-31-02 02:35 PM

Some completely non-country tracks :)

Busta Rhymes ft. P Diddy - Pass the Courvoisier
Chumbawumba - I get knocked down...

dglaser6 05-31-02 02:44 PM

'the whiskey song' - the doors. oh, don't ask why.

The Bus 05-31-02 03:53 PM

How about Reverend Horton Heat's 'Liquor Beer and Wine' ?

Oh and the Doors song is 'Alabama Song' not 'Whiskey Song'

"I won't ask why"...

DVDealer 05-31-02 05:17 PM

"In Heaven there is no beer! That's why we drink it here!..."

Actually it's Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar) so both names are correct -- AND it comes from a German Opera.

Not country - but I can think of a couple Violent Femmes songs which are just great when you're drunk with friends:

Blister in the Sun
Add it Up

Of course, Blister in the sun is about another favorite American past-time. :D

Trinklied
Ein Prosit, ein Prosit
Der Gemütlichkeit
Ein Prosit, ein Prosit
Der Gemütlichkeit.


Volkstümliches Trinklied
Bier her, Bier her, oder ich fall um, juchhe!
Bier her, Bier her, oder ich fall um!
Soll das Bier im Keller liegen
Und ich hier die Ohnmacht kriegen?
Bier her, Bier her, oder ich fall um!
2. Bier her, Bier her, oder ich fall um, juchhe!
Bier her, Bier her, oder ich fall um!
Wenn ich nicht gleich Bier bekumm,
Schmeiß ich die ganze Kneipe um! Drum:
Bier her, Bier her, oder ich fall um!

3. Wein her, Wein her, oder ich fall um, juchhe!
Wein her, Wein her, oder ich fall um!
Soll der Wein im Keller liegen
Und ich Rheumatismus kriegen?
Wein her, Wein her, oder ich fall um!


Das Lied von Rüper
In dem kleinen Rüper steht ein gastlich Haus,
Darin geh';n die Rüperaner ein und aus,
|: Wo man trinkt die Halben in zwei Zügen aus
Da ist meine Heimat, da bin ich zu Haus. :|

2. Trink vom kühlen Hellen nie ein Glas zu wenig,
Denn das merke dir, der Kaiser und der König
|: Trinken alle beide, auch beim schönsten Schmaus,
Köstlich volle Helle, in zwei Zügen aus. :|

3. Hast du dann einmal besonders viel getrunken,
Bist du voll und schwer dann in dein Bett gesunken,
|: Ruh dich von den Halben in zwei Zügen aus,
Brauchst zu keinem Arzte, in kein Krankenhaus. :|

4. Kommst nach langem Leben du im Himmel an,
Sag zu Petrus es, und sprich es leis als dann
|: Wo man trinkt die Halben in zwei Zügen aus,
Rüper meine Heimat, da war ich zu Haus! :|


In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus * The mother of all drinking songs!!!!!
1. Da, wo die grüne Isar fließt,
Wo man mit Grüß Gott dich grüßt,
Liegt meine schöne Münch'ner Stadt,
Die ihresgleichen nicht hat.
Wasser ist billig, rein und gut,
Nur verdünnt es unser Blut,
Schöner sind Tropfen gold'nen Wein's,
Aber am schönsten ist eins:

In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Da läuft so manches Fäßchen aus:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Da hat so manche braver Mann:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Gezeigt was er so vertragen kann
Schon früh am Morgen fing er an
Und spät am Abend kam er heraus
So schön ist's im Hofbräuhaus.

2. Da trinkt man Bier nicht aus dem Glas,
Da gibt's nur die große Maß!
Und wenn der erste Maßkrug leer,
Bringt dir die Reserl bald mehr.
Oft kriegt zu Haus die Frau 'nen Schreck,
Bleibt der Mann mal länger weg.
Aber die braven Nachbarsleut',
Die wissen besser Bescheid!

In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Da läuft so manches Fäßchen aus:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Da hat so manche braver Mann:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Gezeigt was er so vertragen kann
Schon früh am Morgen fing er an
Und spät am Abend kam er heraus
So schön ist's im Hofbräuhaus.

3. Wenn auch so manche schöne Stadt
Sehenswürdigkeiten hat,
Eins gibt es nirgendwo wie hier:
Das ist das Münchener Bier.
Wer dieses kleine Lied erdacht
Hat so manche lange Nacht
Über dem Münchener Bier studiert
Und hat es gründlich probiert.

In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Da läuft so manches Fäßchen aus:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Da hat so manche braver Mann:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Gezeigt was er so vertragen kann
Schon früh am Morgen fing er an
Und spät am Abend kam er heraus
So schön ist's im Hofbräuhaus.


Little Brown Jug
1. My wife and I lived all alone,
In a little log hut we called our own;
She loved gin and I loved rum,
I tell you we had lots of fun.

|: Ha! Ha! Ha! you and me,
Little Brown Jug don't I love thee! :|

2. 'Tis you who makes my friends and foes,
'Tis you who makes me wear old clothes,
Here you are so near my nose,
So tip her up and down she goes.

|: Ha! Ha! Ha! you and me,
Little Brown Jug don't I love thee! :|

3. When I go toiling to my farm
I take little brown jug under my arm,
Place him under a shady tree,
Little brown jug, 'tis you and me.

|: Ha! Ha! Ha! you and me,
Little Brown Jug don't I love thee! :|

4. If I'd a cow that gave such milk,
I'd clothe her in the finest silk
I'd feed her on the choicest hay,
And milk her forty times a day.

|: Ha! Ha! Ha! you and me,
Little Brown Jug don't I love thee! :|

5. The rose is red, my nose is too
The violet's blue and so are you;
And yet I guess, before I stop
I'd better take another drop.

|: Ha! Ha! Ha! you and me,
Little Brown Jug don't I love thee! :|

6. Went for a walk on the railroad track,
Little brown jug on my back.
Stubbed my toe, and down I fell,
And broke that little jug I loved so well.

|: Ha! Ha! Ha! you and me,
Little Brown Jug don't I love thee! :|



Rosamunde
Schon seit vielen langen Jahren liebe ich die Rosamunde,
Und ich denke jede Stunde: einmal muß sie es erfahren.
Seh' ich ihre roten Lippen mit dem ewig frohen Lachen,
Möcht' ich alles machen, um daran zu nippen!
Warum läßt sie mich nur schmachten, immer lächelt sie von ferne,
Ach, ich wüßte nur zu gerne, wie's bisher die and'ren machten.
Still verborgen wie ein Veilchen lebe ich in ihrer Nähe,
Doch wenn ich sie sehe, wart' ich noch ein Weilchen.

Aber heut' bestimmt, geh' ich zu ihr,
Gründe hab' ich ja genug dafür!
Ich trete einfach vor sie hin
und sag' ihr, wie verliebt ich bin.


Sagt sie dann noch nein, ist mir's egal,
Denn ich wart' nicht auf einandermal!
Ich neh'm sie einfach in den Arm
Und sage ihr mit meinem Charme:

3 mal singen:
Rosamunde, schenk' mir dein Herz und dein "Ja!"
Rosamunde, frag' doch nicht erst die Mama.
Rosamunde, glaub' mir, auch ich bin dir treu,
Denn zur Stunde, Rosamunde, ist mein Herz grade noch frei.



Trink, Brüderlein trink
1. Das Trinken, das soll man nicht lassen,
Das Trinken regiert doch die Welt,
Man soll auch den Menschen nicht hassen,
Der stets eine Lage bestellt.
Ob Bier oder Wein, ob Champagner,
Nur laßt uns beim Trinken nicht prahlen,'
Es trank den Champagner schon mancher,
Und konnt ihn nachher nicht bezahlen.

|: Trink, trink, Brüderlein trink,
Laß doch die Sorgen zu Haus!
|: Meide den Kummer und meide den Schmerz,
Dann ist das Leben ein Scherz! :| :|

2. Das Lieben, das Trinken, das Singen
Schafft Freude und fröhlichen Mut.
Den Frauen, den mußt du eins bringen,
Sie sind doch so lieb und so gut.
Verlieb dich solange du jung bist,
Die Hauptsach, du bist noch nicht blau,
Denn wenn man beim schönsten Trunk ist,
Bekommt man sehr leicht eine Frau.

|: Trink, trink, Brüderlein trink,
Laß doch die Sorgen zu Haus!
|: Meide den Kummer und meide den Schmerz,
Dann ist das Leben ein Scherz! :| :|

3. Der Moses, der hat, gar nicht übel,
Ein elftes Gebot noch erdacht,
Das steht aber nicht in der Bibel,
Und hat so viel Freude gemacht.
Man hat es uns unterschlagen,
Weil Trinken und Saufen es preist.
Ich aber, ich will es euch sagen,
Ja, wißt ihr denn auch wie es heißt?

|: Trink, trink, Brüderlein trink,
Laß doch die Sorgen zu Haus!
|: Meide den Kummer und meide den Schmerz,
Dann ist das Leben ein Scherz! :| :|

. Wenn du erwachst am Morgen
Und schlägst die Augen dann auf,
Bedrängen dich oft Sorgen
Beginnst du den Tageslauf:
Hilft sie dir keiner tragen
Und kommst du nicht zur Ruh'
An solchen schweren Tagen
Ruf ich als Freund dir zu:

|: Trink, trink, Brüderlein trink,
Laß doch die Sorgen zu Haus!
|: Meide den Kummer und meide den Schmerz,
Dann ist das Leben ein Scherz! :| :|

5. Bei Freunden, Frau'n und Liedern
Beruhigst du oft dein Herz,
Doch kommt der Gram bald wieder,
Zu ihm gesellt sich der Schmerz.
So wie sie neu erscheinen
Die Sorgen, Kummer, Pein,
Fang' nur nicht an zu weinen,
Schenk dir ein Gläschen ein:

|: Trink, trink, Brüderlein trink,
Laß doch die Sorgen zu Haus!
|: Meide den Kummer und meide den Schmerz,
Dann ist das Leben ein Scherz! :| :|



Farewell To Grogg
1. Come, messmates, pass the bottle 'round,
Our time is short, remember,
For our grogg must stop, our spirits drop,
On the first day of September.

|: For tonight we'll merry, merry be, :|
For tonight we'll merry, merry be,
Tomorrow we'll be sober.

2. Farewell old rye, 'tis a sad, sad word,
But alas! It must be spoken,
The ruby cup must be given up,
And the demijohn be broken.

|: For tonight we'll merry, merry be, :|
For tonight we'll merry, merry be,
Tomorrow we'll be sober.

3. Jack's happy days will soon be gone,
To return again, oh never!
For they've raised his pay five cents a day,
But stopped his grogg forever.

|: For tonight we'll merry, merry be, :|
For tonight we'll merry, merry be,
Tomorrow we'll be sober.

4. Yet memory oft' will backward turn,
And dwell with fondness partial,
On the days when gin was not a sin,
Nor cocktails brought court martial.

|: For tonight we'll merry, merry be, :|
For tonight we'll merry, merry be,
Tomorrow we'll be sober.

5. All hands to split the main brace, call,
But split it now in sorrow,
For the spirit-room key will be laid away
Forever, on tomorrow.

|: For tonight we'll merry, merry be, :|
For tonight we'll merry, merry be,
Tomorrow we'll be sober.
