Parting Glass was played at the pub for the memorial for my father, Robert Kirby, at the pub at the Shamrock Club in Columbus, OH and there wasn't a dry eye in the place. Thanks to Mike Hale (sp?) for the lead vocals.; ▶ Reply to This

when all there was to drink was nothin but cups of tea.
Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mops,
and he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops.

He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king,
and to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he's filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
tiddly beer beer beer.

The Curtis bar, the James' Pub, the Hole in the Wall as well
one thing you can be sure of, its Charlie's beer they sell
so all ye lads a lasses at eleven O'clock ye stop
for five short seconds, remember Charlie Mops 1 2 3 4 5

A barrel of malt, a bushel of hops, you stir it around with a stick,
the kind of lubrication to make your engine tick.
40 pints of wallop a day will keep away the quacks.

But of course "Whiskey in a Jar" And "The Irish Rover" are crowd pleasers around here.; ▶ Reply to This
