The Porter House
Discover the Soulful Vibes at The Porter House: A Musical Haven on Monday Nights
Lyrics
Head on down to the Porter House
Invitation to visit the Porter House
A pint o’ plain for your worries and doubts
A suggestion to have a beer to alleviate worries
You never know what you might find
Implying unexpected experiences may occur
On Monday nights there’s music at nine
There's live music at the venue on Monday nights
Pat the barman is there tonight
Introduction to Pat, the bartender
He’s the one with the gentle eyes
Description of Pat's demeanor
Slingin’ ciders in a green tweed vest
Pat's attire while serving ciders
If you see him will you send my best
Asking to convey greetings if meeting Pat
If it’s not too busy behind the bar
Conditions for greeting Pat and finding an available guitar
And there happens to be a vacant guitar
Highlighting Pat's singing ability
Pat’s golden voice will fill up the room
Pat's choice of songs, possibly by famous singers
With a Christy Moore or a Johnny Cash tune
Reiteration of the invitation to visit the Porter House
Head on down to the Porter House
Repetition of inviting to the Porter House
A pint o’ plain for your worries and doubts
Suggesting having a beer to relieve worries
You never know what you might find
Reiterating the potential for unexpected experiences
On Monday nights there’s music at nine
Reminder of the live music on Monday nights
Don’t be afraid if you know the song
Encouragement to join in singing if familiar with the songs
To close your eyes and sing along
Encouragement to participate in singing with closed eyes
Try to recall who taught it to you
Encouragement to remember the source of learning the song
A grey memory that’s suddenly new
Triggering old memories associated with the song
You won’t be alone in your reverie
Assurance of shared nostalgic experiences
In a country that sings to remember its grief
Emphasizing the cultural significance of songs in expressing grief
From the cliffs of Doneen to the streets of Nashville
Reference to locations connected by music
A song is a song and it does what it will
Highlighting the power of songs to evoke emotions
Head on down to the Porter House
Reiteration of invitation to visit the Porter House
A pint o’ plain for your worries and doubts
Reiteration of suggesting having a beer to relieve worries
You never know what you might find
Reiterating the potential for unexpected experiences
On Monday nights there’s music at nine
Reminder of the live music on Monday nights
