Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I woke in the morning I wasn't feeling well
I spent all my money so last night must have been hell
There was a babe beside me I'd never seen before
So I gave a kiss good-bye and I went out the back door
[Verse 2]
When I left the house of mystery, I didn't know where I was
Luckily I had ten p so I phoned up me cuz
I said, "Hey cousin Paddy, can you come and pick me up?
I just came back from battle with old Irish sup"
[Verse 3]
I am the local hero with the lads in the pub
I am the whiskey king and I'll never give it up
I don't recall a thing but I went all the way
Was a drunken night in Dublin that ended up in Galway Bay
[Verse 4]
When Paddy picked me up I was face down on the ground
It took him three hours to get in from Dublin town
What I didn't realize was I was a little out of the way
The place he picked me up was bleedin' Galway bay
[Verse 5]
I am the local hero with the lads in the pub
I am the whiskey king and I'll never give it up
I don't recall a thing but I went all the way
Was a drunken night in Dublin that ended up in Galway Bay
[Verse 6]
So if you wake one morning, you don't know where you are
You know it had to be the whisky in the jar
Well, Ireland's not a big place and I'll know if you're found
Well the whisky will l take you places, man, you have never seen
[Verse 7]
I am the local hero with the lads in the pub
I am the whiskey king and I'll never give it up
I don't recall a thing but I went all the way
Was a drunken night in Dublin that ended up in Galway Bay
Drunken night in Dublin that ended up in Galway Bay
Drunken night in Dublin that ended up in Galway Bay
