Bartender, bartender, I just hit town
Whatever you set up, gonna drink it down
All that I feel is grief and misery
There ain't no doubt my South Shore girl got the best of me
Bartender, bartender, I'm drinking beer
Alexander Keith, he used to be the mayor
Sometimes I think they should've named a pale ale after me
Whenever I run hard aground, I always end up here
I'm back to the bottle and the barstool
Battling the blues in a Barrington Street bar
Back to the bottom with the blues and I got 'em
And there ain't nothing half as hard
It all fades away when the fiddles play
And it's almost good to be back
There ain't nothing better for a broken heart
Than a Barrington Street bar in Halifax
Bartender, bartender, don't run me dry
All of them sad songs, they make me cry
The atmosphere right in here, let me make it clear
If the whole harbour went sky high
You'd still find me sitting right here
I'm back to the bottle and the barstool
Battling the blues in a Barrington Street bar
Back to the bottom with the blues and I got 'em
And there ain't nothing half as hard
It all fades away when the fiddles play
And it's almost good to be back
There ain't nothing better for a broken heart
Than a Barrington Street bar in Halifax
Bartender, bartender, it's closing time
Gotta saddle up and move on down the line
I don't even have a dollar for the MacDonald Bridge
It ain't no use, I'm telling the truth and the truth is what it is
I'm back to the bottle and the barstool
Battling the blues in a Barrington Street bar
Back to the bottom with the blues and I got 'em
And there ain't nothing half as hard
It all fades away when the fiddles play
And it's almost good to be back
There ain't nothing better for a broken heart
Than a Barrington Street bar in Halifax
