G ----------------------------------------------------------------C
It was on a Friday evening, I was down on Ashton lane
D---------------------------------------------------G
Feeling sorry for myself, busking in the rain
G-------------------------------------------------------------C
I was singin for my supper, singing for another beer
D-----------------------------------------------------G
All the usual hits that the punters like to hear
G ----------------------------------------------------------------------C
I went in to Jinty McGuinty’s and old Jim Cassidy was there
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------G
His coat was ripped and his tooth was chipped, but he didn’t seem to care
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------C
You’re a sorry sight I told him, as he swayed from side to side
D------------------------------------------------------------G
And I’ll tell you what my friends, I wasn’t far behind
G C G D G
And he said tell me what’s yer name again I seem to have forgot
C G D
See I’ve been sinking Guiness now for 6 days on the trot
C G C G
But I’ll wake up tomorrow and I’m sure the sun will shine
C G D G
‘Till then I’ll drown my sorrows in a bottle of cheap red wine
Same pattern continues

Easily the best Glasgow anthem in existence

Where the video of you singing this song in the park just you and the guitar?

[@andrewdowns6468]

Whatever happened to the original video? With the guy outside on his own. Sitting.

Truly a masterpiece! Brilliant song! Just to hear this makes me happy (and thirsty!) It also goes very well with my
"binge drinking - it's the only way" philosophy. 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
