Get That Woman

Get That Woman

Get that woman out of our pub
She makes my whiskey taste weak
I don’t want to hear the songs that she sings
I don’t want to listen, I don’t want her to speak

Get that woman out of our pub
Her green Irish eyes make me think
Of all that I’ve lost in this god-awful life
And I just come here to drink

She reminds me of that mother of mine
Who died on me when I was five
Left me and the babe with a hard-drinking Da
Don’t know how we survived

She’s Irish on her grandmother’s side
Her eyes are emerald green
And the smile that she smiles, that’s a Dublin smile
And she sings just like Eileen

She reminds me of that wife of mine
Who ran off with my brother’s best mate
Never knew what I did, but she took all the kids
That’s Brendan and Michael and Kate

She reminds me of that daughter of mine
Who never visits nor calls but to say
How I’ve never shown her any love
So she keeps the grandchild away

Get that woman out of our pub
She makes my whiskey taste weak
I don’t want to hear the songs that she sings
I don’t want to listen, I don’t want her to speak

Get that woman out of our pub
Her green Irish eyes make me think
Of all that I’ve lost in this god-awful life
And I just come here to drink
