Good strong Celtic flavour to this song in the style of the Irish Rover. I can almost hear the pint pots rattling.

Works very very well indeed.

Great stuff

Nice job I can see sitting at that table now toasting old friend and memories----as for the assignment it didn't say you had to use alot of geometrical references. the circle works for me.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Tokai 12 String https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-33-a-drinking-song/#post-62489 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg-week-33-a-drinking-song/#post-2639 Tue, 15 Jun 2004 16:51:49 +0000 These are sung to any traditional Scottish or Irish tune that you can think of after afew pints of the brown stuff. It doesn't really matter because the person dueting with you is unlikely to be singing the same tune (or even the same words for that matter).I'm not sure I've really exploited the geometrical theme but it is at least about a circle and sticking that close to the assignment is pretty good going for me.


I’ve travelled round this country
Like many another man
And I’ve never took the straight road
When another’s come to hand
I’ve never been a stranger
To a tall and foaming glass
But if I only drink one more
Then I know where it will be
At a little circle table
In a wee pub in Dundee

There’s many public houses
Where a man can find a beer
There’s bistros bars and cafes
That are brimming with good cheer
But there’s none that I remember
With quite such fond reflection
I can’t make you understand
How much it means to me
That little circle table
In a wee pub in Dundee

It’s the place where I first tasted
The drink that brought me pleasure
It’s the place where I first wasted
An afternoon of leisure
It’s the place where I first held the hand
Of the girl that’s still beside me
If I only had one wish
Then I know where I would be
At a little circle table
In a wee pub in Dundee.

Cheers and one for yourself
