Casey’s Bar.197?

Casey’s Bar.197?
By bike and car, 
From near and far,
They gather every night
To have a pint of Guinness the working man’s delight.
They come in from Bushfield , Killeen and Cloonlyon,
There’s Kelly’s, Lundy’s and Leeches and everyone is buying.
There’s some from Hagfield and Culmore and more are coming in,
There’s Lennon, Freyne, Harringtonn and here comes Jimmy Quinn.
There are people here for Christmas from Dublin, Galway and Cork
A good few over from England, and a couple from New York.
There’s Paddy in the corner telling stories oh so tall,
And Jim and Jack are throwing darts at a board upon the wall.
Now there’s talk of starting up a friendly game of cards,
And making sure the goose is won before they see the Guards.
Out in the back room right beside the Gents
They are playing that new game called pool for only ten new pence.
There are friendly people here each night as fine as you could know
From the finest County in the land the County of Mayo
So if per chance you are thirsty when you are passing through
There is a spot where you should stop and have a pint or two.
Six miles or so from Swinford your money you put down
In Casey’s Bar ,in Church Street, in good old Charlestown.
