Lyrics:
It's lonesome away from your kindred and all,
By the campfire at night where the wild dingoes call;
But there's nothing so lonesome, so morbid or drear,
Than to stand in a bar of a pub with no beer.
Now the publican's anxious for the quota to come,
There's a far away look on the face of the bum;
The maid's gone all cranky, and the cook's acting queer,
What a terrible place is a pub with no beer.
Then the stockman rides up with his dry, dusty throat,
He breasts up to the bar, pulls a wad from his coat;
But the smile on his face quickly turns to a sneer,
When the barman says sadly, the pub's got no beer.
There's a dog on the 'randa-h, for his master he waits,
But the boss is inside drinking wine with his mates;
He hurries for cover and cringes in fear,
It's no place for a dog 'round a pub with no beer.
Old Billy the blacksmith, first time in his life,
Has gone home cold sober to his darling wife;
He walks in the kitchen, she says you're early, me dear,
But he breaks down and tells her, the pub's got no beer.

nice job &mdash 11/23/05 - 12:26:58 AM
Great little tune. I like the simplicity of it. Your harmonies are sweet and
the guitar just right.
But no beer?! How are we supposed to wash down the dreadful pub food?
Sad indeed. [ Reply to This ]

You may want to check, but I think it's © 1957 by Gordon Parsons and Slim Dusty.

Heh... nice try sir :)
I did check...and they actually took the "song" (the lyrics) from ANOTHER fellow
by the name of Dan Sheahan.
So I didn't feel so bad about posting the cover...is it really that bad?? Are you the
cover police??
Chill Bro....have a Guinness.

Sorry dude - I didn't mean to be an arse - I was just checkin'
Those sneaky devils! I wonder if that guy made any money from the record 'cos it was huge in Australia. Still is.
And thank you yes - I will have a Guinness. Or four.

"A PUB WITH NO BEER"
WRITTEN DURING WW2 IN INGHAM, NORTH QLD,
AFTER THE YANKS DRANK THE PUB DRY
The song made famous by the late Slim Dusty, was first written in the original Day Dawn Hotel in Ingham in north Queensland in 1943, by an Irish cane cutter Dan Sheahan, after some American soldiers drank the pub dry the previous night.
Dan Sheahan had gone to his favourite pub for a cold beer but was told by the Publican Gladys Harvey, that there was no beer left, due to a drinking binge by some American soldiers the previous night. Dan Sheahan consoled himself in the corner of the pub with a glass of wine and wrote the song "A Pub without Beer" which was later transformed to "A Pub with No Beer" by composer Gordon Parsons, who had spotted the words of "A Pub without Beer" in "The North Queensland Register" newspaper.
Slim Dusty, would visit Dan Sheahan when he visited Ingham. Dan died in 1977, aged 95 years. The Day Dawn Hotel was demolished and rebuilt as Lee's Hotel in 1960.
Unfortunately, the great Slim Dusty passed away on Friday 19 September 2003 aged 76 years.

A true nightmare &mdash 11/23/05 - 06:13:45 AM
A true nightmare. The narrating vocals are really good. I heard more and
more voices singing along until it was a truly rousing middle and then
filtering out to the end, the lonesome ending. Great story song, even if it
is a hellish topic. [ Reply to This ]
Unfortunately this is becoming true... &mdash 11/23/05 - 10:31:09 AM
in certain poncy parts of London (like Soho) you can't get served any
real ale..just bottles of overpriced gassy lage, and crappy alcopops with
daft names! Anyway rant over...
This is a cool tune, great performance particularly the harmony vocals.
Cheers!

Delightful &mdash 11/25/05 - 06:51:37 AM
Delightfully performed. Since I never heard any original, or any earlier
derivative, I found this refreshing and warmly recorded. I like how close
the sound is, the intimate feel. [ Reply to This ]

I had never heard this one before. Fun song, got a kick out of the

Nightmare Scenario &mdash 12/25/05 - 06:26:21 AM
On to the next pub then!
Well done, a little more restrained than I expected. Good singing and very
good playing, sir.
We'll have to find a pub with beer the next time I'm visiting my family in
Aurora. [ Reply to This ]

THIS WOULD BE A DISASTER &mdash 11/21/07 - 09:49:47 PM
Whenever I was in Ireland,at fairs a spit on the hand and a pint to settle the sale was necessary.In fact any pub without a pint of Guiness or Bass ale would be burned down.
you have a lot of talent and a great imagination.That also
applies to The Moonshiner.
Thanks for the memories,
