All For Me Grog

The Dubliners

Transposer:

[Chorus] And it’s all for me grog me jolly jolly grog All for me beer and tobacco Well i’ve spent all me tin with the ladys drinking gin Far across the western ocean i must wander [Verse 1] I’m sick in the head and i haven’t been to bed Since first i came ashore with me plunder I’ve seen centipedes and snakes and my head is full of aches And i’ll have to make a path for way out yonder [Chorus] And it’s all for me grog me jolly jolly grog All for me beer and tobacco Well i’ve spent all me tin with the ladys drinking gin Far across the western ocean i must wander [Verse 2] Where are me boots me noggin’ noggin’ boots They’re all gone for beer and tobacco You see the soles were getting thin and the uppers were letting in And the heels are looking out for better weather [Chorus] And it’s all for me grog me jolly jolly grog All for me beer and tobacco Well i’ve spent all me tin with the ladys drinking gin Far across the western ocean i must wander [Verse 3] Where is me shirt me noggin’ noggin’ shirt It’s all gone for beer and tobacco You see the sleeves they got worn out and the collar was turned about And the tail is looking out for better weather [Chorus] And it’s all for me grog me jolly jolly grog All for me beer and tobacco Well i’ve spent all me tin with the ladys drinking gin Far across the western ocean i must wander [Verse 4] Where is me wife me noggin’ noggin’ wife She’s all gone for beer and tobacco You see her front it got worn out and her tail been kicked about And i’m sure she’s looking out for better weather [Chorus] And it’s all for me grog me jolly jolly grog All for me beer and tobacco Well i’ve spent all me tin with the ladys drinking gin Far across the western ocean i must wander [Verse 5] Oh where is me bed me noggin’ noggin’ bed It’s all gone for beer and tobacco You see i sold it to the girls and the springs they got all twirls And the sheets they’re looking out for better weather [Chorus] And it’s all for me grog me jolly jolly grog All for me beer and tobacco Well i’ve spent all me tin with the ladys drinking gin Far across the western ocean i must wander

La chanson évoque la vie d'un homme qui a dilapidé tout son argent en festoyant et en buvant. Il se plaint d'être mal en point, fatigué et désabusé, tout en cherchant désespérément ses affaires perdues, comme ses chaussures, sa chemise et même sa femme, qui semblent avoir disparu au profit de l'alcool et du tabac. Dans ce voyage à travers ses déboires, il se rend compte des conséquences de sa vie d'excès, tout en continuant à errer au loin, au-delà de l'océan, sans but précis. Le contexte pourrait être celui des marins irlandais, souvent représentés dans la musique folklorique, qui parlent de leurs aventures, de l'ivresse et de la nostalgie d'une vie révolue. Cette chanson reflète également un certain humorisme face à la misère, une caractéristique du folklore celte.
