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

about

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
