amateur question - Drink and Fight song?

Post Fri Dec 17, 2004 5:02 am

Hello, Pogues forum!
I'm the wife of a devoted Pogues fan. (He wanted to name our dog "Shane.") I'm covertly putting together a little Pogues project for him as a Christmas present but, since I am admittedly not so familiar with the Pogues, I need some assistance from those in the know. I've got what I'm assuming are really dumb questions: (1) There is a song referred to as "Drink and Fight" -- I've heard it played in my house before, but I can't find the title on any discography online. Is "Drink and Fight" not the actual title??? If not, then what is the real title? (2) Are "Medley" and "Battle March Medley" the same song???

Thanks a million to anyone who can help me out....

"drink and fight" is not what i know a pogues song.

Dont know what the song is called.
But my guess is this one:

Dropkick Murphys
Irish Drinking Song (As Far As I Know)

by Unknown
(if i'm wrong about the title let me know)

Well I stumbled an' I tell ya I'm all drunk and fulla smoke
My wife said I have had enough Thats it I'm sick get out
So I stumbled down to Kelly's Pub, across the edge of town
An I told the boys wee story and we had another round

Chorus
We'll drink an drink an drink an drink
an drink an drink an fight
We'll drink an drink an drink an drink
an drink an drink an fight
And if i see a pretty girl I'll sleep with
her tonight
Yes, We'll drink an drink an drink an drink
an drink an drink an fight

And Mary MacGraegor , well she was a pretty whore
She'd always greet you with a smile and never locked her door
But on the day she died all the men in town did weep
For Mary MacGraegor finally got some sleep

Chorus

Well I once loved a girl, a child I'm told
I gave her my heart and she gave me a a cold
So now I sit standin here out in the pourin rain
I'll stumble back to Kelly's Pub and cry away me pain

I'll drink an drink an drink an drink
an drink an drink an Fight
We'll drink an drink an drink an drink
an drink an drink an fight
And if i see a pretty girl
I'll sleep with her tonight
an I'll drink an drink an drink an drink
an drink an drink an Fiiiiiiiiiiight
(2) Are "Medley" and "Battle March Medley" the same song???
