Famous Dublin Songs
The Pint of Plain
When things go wrong and will not come right
Though you do the best you can.
When life looks black as the hour of night
Apint of plain is your only man.
When money's tight and hard to get
And your horse has also ran.
When all you have is a heap of debt
A pint of plain is your only man.
When health is strange and your heart feels strange
And your face is pale and wan.
When doctors say that you need a change
A pint of plain is your only man
When food is scarce and your larder bare
And no rashers grease your pan.
When hunger grows as your meals are rare
A pint of plain is your only man
In times of trouble and lonley strife
You have still got a darling plan.
You can still turn to a brighter life,
A pint of plain is your only man.
Written by Flann O'Brien,the pseudonym
of Brian O'Nolan,in his exceptional 1939 "At
Swim Two Birds".This psychedelic novel
will be a tremendous read for all Dubaholics.
