Old Joe
Old Joe's Tavern Tales: A Musical Journey Through Friendship and Memories
Lyrics
Old Joe he sits in the corner
Old Joe occupies a corner, observing the activity around the pool table.
Watching the lads on the pool table
He watches the young men playing pool.
Old Joe he sips his bourbon he bets them a pint they'll sink the white
Old Joe drinks bourbon and wagers a pint that the players will successfully pocket the white ball.
He's made that table his own
He considers the pool table his own, claiming ownership or familiarity with it.
Always whistling a tune from days of old
Continuously whistling tunes from the past, reflecting a nostalgic demeanor.
Sits under the smoke that rises up while he puffs his pipe
Sits amidst rising smoke, puffing on his pipe.
Old Joe he's the life and soul with the biggest heart of gold you'll find
Old Joe is characterized as lively and generous, possessing a heart of gold.
Duffle coat no matter the weather he's had the same shoes on since forever
Wearing a duffle coat regardless of the weather, consistent in his attire with the same shoes for a long time.
Never lost that glint in his eye always up for the craic always up for a good time
Retaining a spark in his eye, always ready for fun and socializing.
But all good things must come to an end its no different for our friend
Despite his vibrant personality, acknowledging that all good things, including Joe's time, eventually come to an end.
Now he's got a table in the sky never ending tab and a great big smile
Old Joe now metaphorically has a table in the sky, suggesting his passing, but with a perpetual tab and a happy demeanor.
Old Joe he's the life and soul with the biggest heart of gold you'll find
Reiteration of Joe's lively and generous nature, emphasizing his heart of gold.
Life is better with a pint and a chaser and there's always time for one more
Expressing the belief that life is enhanced with a pint and a chaser, with room for one more.
Life is better with a pint and a chaser and there's always time for one more
Repetition of the idea that life is better with a drink and always room for another.
Old Joe he's the life and soul with the biggest heart of gold you'll find
Restating Joe's vibrant and generous character, highlighting his exceptional kindness.
Life is better with a pint and a chaser and there's always time for one more
Reaffirming the notion that life is improved with a drink and there's always time for one more.
Life is better with a pint and a chaser and there's always time for one more
Reiteration of the idea that life is better with a pint and a chaser, emphasizing the perpetual nature of this sentiment.
