I am neither a fan of oh-god-o'clock nor of exercise...
...but then have just been possibly diagnosed with anaemia, which probably accounts for my sloth-like qualities.
Still, on the plus side, I didn't get that job I went for, so I still get to slug about in bed for a bit longer in the mornings.

I love Whiskey in the Jar, but for all you folks in the 76th, here's a soldier's song;
Whiskey, You're the Devil
Now brave boys, we're on the march
off to Portugal and Spain
Drums are beating, banners flying
the Devil at home will come tonight
so it's go, fare thee well
with a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da
a too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da
me rikes fall too ra laddie-o
there's whisky in the jar
Oh, whisky you're the devil
you're leading me astray
over hills and mountains
and to Amerikay
you're sweetness from the Bleachner
and spunkier than tea
oh whisky you're my darling drunk or sober
The French are fighting boldly
men are dying hot and coldly
give every man his flask of powder
his firelock on his shoulder
so its go, fare thee well
with a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da
a too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da
me rikes fall too ra laddie-o
there's whisky in the jar
Oh, whisky you're the devil
you're leading me astray
over hills and mountains
and to Amerikay
you're sweetness from the Bleachner
and spunkier than tea
oh whisky you're my darling drunk or sober
Says the old wan do not wrong me
don't take me daughter from me
for if you do I will torment you
when I'm dead my ghost will haunt you
so its go, fare thee well
with a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da
a too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da
me rikes fall too ra laddie-o
there's whisky in the jar
Oh, whisky you're the devil
you're leading me astray
over hills and mountains
and to Amerikay
you're sweetness from the Bleachner
and spunkier than tea
oh whisky you're my darling drunk or sober
Oh, whisky you're the devil
you're leading me astray
over hills and mountains
and to Amerikay
you're sweetness from the Bleachner
and spunkier than tea
oh whisky you're my darling drunk or sober

There's a widow in sleepy Chester
Who weeps for her only son;
There's a grave on the Pabeng River,
A grave that the Burmans shun;
And there's Subadar Prag Tewarri
Who tells how the work was done.

If you have the spinach as part of curry, does it still count? 
(I love saag paneer)
Yeah, I've been doing all the right diet things, but I'm just getting more and more pale and sleepy.
random thought for 'Preacher' fans - if Jamie Bell ('Jumper') could do an Irish accent, would he make a good Cassidy?

I nearly got dragged up on stage to sing that one!
Best place to post lyrics is BSR, the filk section.

I changed it to a link. No reason for it to be Blue Sun room; I didn't write it and it ain't anything related to Firefly.

There's all sorts of lyrics posted there, including some Civil war (US not UK), old Irish and even a Jacobite one or two.
Anyhow, I figure anything involving drink, violence and misfiring realtionships sounds very Firefly!
