I was sitting at a bar just mending my heart and waiting on my luck to change
When there walked a man from the plain Ireland on what he called a holiday
Well he sat next to me saying boy I believe that you could use another drink
Then he raised up his glass said forget the past and let's toast to all that's gonna be
Here's to a long life
And a merry one
Here's to a quick death and an easy one
A pretty girl and an honest one
Here's to a cold beer
And another one
By the time that I've down that first round, he had ordered number two and three
And before I could say, hey what's your name, he stood up and said to me
Here's to a long life
And a merry one
Here's to a quick death and an easy one
A pretty girl and an honest one
Here's to a cold beer
And another one
By the end of the night he said so many times I couldn't walk the straight line if I try
But before he left he wished me the best and here's how he said goodbye
Here's to a long life
And a merry one
Here's to a quick death and an easy one
A pretty girl and an honest one
Here's to a cold beer
And another one
Here's to a long life
And a merry one
Here's to a quick death and an easy one
A pretty girl and an honest one
Here's to a cold beer
And another one
Here's to a cold beer
And another one
Here's to a long life
And a merry one
Here's to a quick death and an easy one
A pretty girl and an honest one
Here's to a cold beer
And another one
Here's to a long life
And a merry one
Here's to a quick death and an easy one
A pretty girl and an honest one
Here's to a cold beer
And another one
