From the recording Third Flagon
Lyrics
We played a wedding, earlier this year,
Most of the Fellas content drinking beer.
When told that our tab would be 200 bills,
Shamus said Fellas, I'd best get me fill.
He ordered a shot, then pounded 2 more
He tried to stand up, but fell down to the floor
Stumblin', bumblin' just like a clown
That was the night that Old Shamus fell down.
On the buzz of that whiskey, old Shamus did ride,
He went from Jekyll, to old Mr. Hyde
He kept on drinkin', he never got dry
Even out drinking our old friend Chin Hai
When Shamus fell down, when Shamus fell down
Drinking his whiskey consecutive rounds
Stumblin', bumblin' just like a clown
That was the night that Old Shamus fell down.
Loading the motorhome after the gig,
Shamus tried hoisting a box in the rig.
Crashed like the Hindenburg, smashing his phone
We called his wife, she said don't send him home.
When Shamus fell down, when Shamus fell down
Drinking his whiskey consecutive rounds
Stumblin', bumblinjust like a clown
That was the night that Old Shamus fell down.
Shamus, Shamus, the night, it made him quite famous
Shamus, Shamus, the night that old Shamus,
Old Shamus fell down
