Biography:
The Pogues is a band of mixed Irish and English background, playing traditional Irish music with influences from punk rock and folk, formed in 1982 and fronted by Shane MacGowan. The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. MacGowan left the band in 1991 due to drinking problems but the band continued first with Joe Strummer and then with Spider Stacy on vocals before breaking up in 1996.[1] The band reformed in 2001, and has been playing regularly ever since

The Boat Train

I had a couple of drinks in town
A few more at the port

I puked up on the gangway

But some kind folks helped me board

They helped me to a table
C F
Poured whiskey down my throat

They sat me at a table

First we drank some whiskey

Then we drank some gin

Then we drank tequila
Dm C
I think that's what did me in

Then we drank some brandy

And the women had a dance

The steward then announced

That we could play the game of "chance"

We crowded round the table
With our money in our hands

I ended up on the other side

Without a penny in my pants
Bb F
I woke up in the toilet

When we got to Holyhead

The doors were all a-banging

And I wished that I was dead

Then we went through customs
Bb F
With a couple of crazy thugs
Bb F
First they looked for bombs and joints
Dm C
Then they looked for drugs

Stuck a flashlight up my ass

Told some Irish jokes

Said "Fuck off now, Paddy"
