If I Get an Encore/Nathan Carter
When I heard Big Tom in the Galtymore And the dancers crying
out for more,
I knew right then my future it was sealed.
I was bitten by the showband bug and ever since that wound
did not heel.
When I got my first accordion I played like hell to learn a
tune or two.
When I got a little better, wrote me ma a good-bye letter,
And I took the Irish boat from Liverpool.
And if I got an encore I'd go home feeling like a king,
'Cause I love to play me old squeeze box and I get a lot of
pleasure when I sing.
I played Mullingar and County Clare, Dublin Cavan and
Kildare,
From Wexford right up to Donegal.
Though we often packed the dance halls I remember one night
there was no one there at all.
Ah, the road is long and weary and the miles they often seem
a heavy load,
But there's nothing feels better, with the band on stage
together,
And the crowd all shouting ''Play One For The Road'',
And if I got an encore I'd go home feeling like a king,
It's a two way situation, 'cause I get a lot of pleasure
when I sing.
And if I got an encore I'd go home feeling like a king,
'Cause I love to play me old squeeze box and I get a lot of
pleasure when I sing.
In the Allingham Bundoran, the tempature was soaring and the
craic was 90 up in Monaghan,
'Tis a long way to the Hazel Tree, Kilarney and Tipperary,
It's always good to meet and make new friends.
I met all the girls in Limerick, ladies love to come along
and see the show.
Clonmany street is hard to beat, Castlebar Enniscourty and
Carlow and Claremorris in Mayo.
I played The Mellon and The Bushtown, The Ryandale and
Cookstown,
I played the famous Rainbow in Glenfarne.
Derrygonnelly Antrim Newry, Sligo Moath and 'Blaney.
And a wild night in Dungiven in a bar.
At festivals you'll see me there, there is no gig too big no
hall too small.
Ah, one day I'll get my wish to play The Marquee In
Drumlish,
And I love the dances in the Parish Halls.
