lyrics

Savannah you've been like a lover to me
When I left you in March in the cool ocean breeze
Your azaleas, palms, and your moss draped trees
Pleaded with me not to go

For a boy from the North whose blood has run cold
I found warmth in the arms of your city of old
And I flirted with you as the old whiskey flowed
And like that you were gone in the morning

(Chorus)
All night you entertained me
Like a showgirl in Vegas, or the stars out at sea
Jewel of the south, wild and free
Savannah you've been good to me

Got a River Street high as I set foot upon it
Convinced that old Sherman knew a good thing when he saw it
Past the taverns on the bay that the sailors once haunted
And died while calling for rum!

Drunk in the twilight of Lafayette Square
Sippin' stout from a bottle as I wait for you there
And I dreamt of libations and a rose in your hair
As I whistled 'The Brass Mounted Army'

(Chorus)

There's a storm from the Caribbean blowin' in from the north
And the rain falls in sheets on our low country hosts
And the pews of St. John's are haunted by ghosts
How 'bout one more drink for the road?

So tell Billy Bones that I'm down at the bar
Drinkin' Myers and smokin' a Toro cigar
Oh and here's to you Johnny wherever you are
And 'The Days of Wine and Roses'

(Chorus)

The Peelers Montreal, Québec

Now based in Montreal, The Peelers were formed in 1999 in North Glengarry. They immersed themselves in a hotbed of Gaelic culture that smashed head on into a love of whiskey, poetry, footy, debauchery, ska and punk. They don’t just bend the rules of tradition with their blend of aggro & trad Irish - these long ball merchants tear it to pieces. ... more
