Nathan Carter - Temple Bar

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, which calls for Irish music.  Interestingly, Ireland has a pretty thriving country music scene, one where American country themes are mixed with Irish ones called (sensibly enough) "Country and Irish".  There's even a television show called Opry an Iúir.  It's an interesting mix, not exactly country and not really traditional Irish.  It seems like a good choice for the Feast of Patrick.

Nathan Carter is one of the biggest stars of this scene.  This song is from his 2016 album, Stayin' Up All Night.



Temple Bar (Songwriters)

There's a busker playin' on the street
Watching all the people meet
The boys and girls are back in Dublin town
There's young ones there from everywhere
From America to God knows where
It's just another night in Temple Bar 

So come on down, out on the town
Cause' this is where a good time can be found
So bring along the old squeeze box, the fiddle and guitar
Let's have a good old night in Temple Bar 

There's a stag do here from Liverpool
Chasing hens and on the boat
Old Barney's lashing out the 'Rare Auld Times'
Ah the Glasgow girls are on the floor
And a round of shots have just been poured
It's another crazy night in Temple Bar 

So come on down, out on the town
Cause' this is where a good time can be found
So bring along the old squeeze box, the fiddle and guitar
Let's have a good old night in Temple Bar 

There is no better place to be than this old town tonight
Nobody's going home till' they turn out the lights 

So come on down, out on the town
Cause' this is where a good time can be found
So bring along the old squeeze box, the fiddle and guitar
Let's have a good old night in Temple Bar 

So come on down, out on the town
Cause' this is where a good time can be found
So bring along the old squeeze box, the fiddle and guitar
Let's have a good old night in Temple Bar
Let's have a good old night in Temple Bar 

There's a busker playing on the street
Watching all the people meet
