lyrics

BARMAN:
Oh I’m goin’ down to Lighthaven
With my rags and elbow grease
Yeah I’m goin’ down to Lighthaven
Down to work with Ernie’s niece

I ain’t got no one else, my friend
But moonshine’s my release

I packed my bags this morning
Got the train at half past eight
Yeah I packed my bags this morning
Can’t afford to get there late

I rolled up to the station
And there was Nancy at the gate

[Melodica solo]

The town was old and dated
Not a modern thing in sight
Yeah the town was old and dated
No, no, something wasn’t right

When I looked up there was black smoke
Pouring out the lighthouse light

I said “take me to the taproom”
So I can pay my dues
Yeah I said “take me to the taproom”
Where I can serve the booze
When I looked down at her feet, well
She wasn’t wearin’ any shoes!

We got to The Red Herring
It’s a small time brewery
Yeah we got to The Red Herring
Has its own distillery
I guess I got my work cut out
If you were here you’d all agree
