Johnny Tarr - Gaelic Storm
The song Johnny Tarr by Gaelic Storm off of their CD Special Reserve. WARNING: If you do NOT like Celtic music, don't bother with this song. Thanks.
Lyrics:
Lemme tell you a little story about a man named Johnny Tarr
He was a hard drinking son of a preacher, always at the bar.
Lager from the tap or shots of Paddy from the shelf
He could open his throttle and throw back a bottle as quick as the devil himself.... Johnny Tarr
And the word got around that Johnny Tarr was no pretender.
From Claire to here they'd lock up the beer when Jonny went on a bender.
Down at Dickey Mack's, the Rising Sun, or at the Swan.
He was drinking by seven, by ten to eleven, well all the booze would be gone!.... Johnny Tarr!
And even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it,
But I wouldn't trust a person like me, if i were you.
Sure, I wasn't there but I swear i have an alibi,
I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true!
It was nine in the morning, on a cold and rainy night.
Johnny walked into the Castle Bar, looking to get tight.
He had money in his pocket, he had whiskey in his eye.
He said "Get up off your asses and set up the glasses, I'm drinking this place dry!"
Now all the serious boozers, they were soon broken hearted
when Johnny finished off six, and he was only getting started.
Guzzling down the pints, and knokin' em back like candy.
He was lookin' alright to be drinkin' all night, then Nora brought out the brandy!.... Johnny Tarr!
And even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it,
But I wouldn't trust a person like me, if i were you.
Sure, I wasn't there but I swear i have an alibi,
I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true!
Here we go Sheila
Johnny drank the whole damn bottle, had another pint or two,
When it made no impression he started a session with Murphy's Millenium Brew.
He was waiting for a pint when his face turned green;
Jesus, Johnny fell down after only fifteen!
You could have heard a pin drop, then the crowd let out a roar,
It took five Cork women to lift Johnny off the floor!
The doctor looked him over and said "you better call the hearse:
But it's not what you're thinkin', it wasn't the Drinkin', this man died of thirst!.... Johnny Tarr!
And even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it.
I wouldn't trust a person like me, if i were you
Sure, I wasn't there but I swear i have an alibi,
I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true!
And even if you saw it yourself, you wouldn't believe it.
I wouldn't trust a person like me, if i were you.
Sure, I wasn't there but I swear i have an alibi.
I heard it from a man who knows a fella who says it's true!

Dublin v Kerry 1977 - Best Gaelic Football Game Ever
I was at this game at Croke Park in 1977, sitting in the Cusack stand with my father, watching this clash between the two greatest teams of the modern era. The Dubs were at their peak, having beaten Kerry the year before in the All-Ireland final. The two had also met in the 1975 final, which Kerry won, so the rivalry was keen. This is the All-Ireland semi-final of 1977. Kerry lost this one, but would exact sweet revenge in the 1978 and 1979 finals and go on to win the 4-in-a-row. But, for me, Bernard Brogan's goal remains one of the sublime sporting moments in my life ...

Gaelic Storm- Johnny Tarr
Over the past couple of years Gaelic Storm has become known to play a few bars of Johnny Tarr in different styles before launching into the familiar version of the tune. This footage shot at Stamper's Pub in Fairview Park in March of '05 shows the Jazz, Rap, Country, Blues, and "Stairway to Heaven" versions. Sorry for any littel gaps in the footage as my camera at the time was the type that only took 30 second clips, which I had to string together. Still a decent little movie, though!
