Nightmare No. 64

I awoke on a Sunday morning to a buzzing in my head
Couldn’t remember Saturday, and I now wished that I were dead
“Pleased to meet you, Mister Reilly”, said a voice beyond the door
What transpired from that moment is my Nightmare No 64
Rye-tiddly-di-do-di-diddly-aye-daily Nightmare No 64
A man came in and washed his hands, donned a gown, which in back he did tie
At that moment, did I realize, in a white tub I did lie
“Sir, what am I doing here?” is what I wished that I could say
But I found that I was frozen, I passed out as he came my way
Rye-tiddly-di-do-di-diddly-aye-daily Nightmare No 64
Awoke again screaming milia murther. I saw blood and stitches black,
Running down from my left side down to somewhere on my back
Someone come and rescue me, save me from this awful Hell
Call the gardaí, call me mother. I miss the home I love so well.
Rye-tiddly-di-do-di-diddly-aye-daily Nightmare No 64
Must have passed out once again; awoke again to the buzz in my head
But my brother was standing o’er me, laughing so hard his face was red
That whiskey was a truly strong one, you fell so hard upon the floor.
I lifted my shirt to show him what had happened, but... no blood. No stitches.
Just my Nightmare No 64
Rye-tiddly-di-do-di-diddly-aye-daily Nightmare No 64

Heard this old one say to that old one
Are you going to the Wellie Races
Sure enough in Weston town you won't see buckles or laces

Jonathan Ramsey Saint Louis
Jonathan Ramsey combines the playful Irish raconteur with the introspective folk singer. Jonathan takes on unrequited love, comeuppance and underdogs, shipwrecks, general mayhem, and marital bliss —or lack thereof- with a bit of humour and a dash of sensitivity. The one-man band sings, plays a counter-melody and rhythm on the guitar, all while stomping a tight drum beat on his big wooden box. ... more
