[Verse 1] I am a man who drinks alone And when I'm walking my way home At night, or stumbling from the bar When the light begins to fade I sometimes feel a little swayed A little dizzy near or far [Chorus] Fear not the pint, fear not the pint I have a hearty thirst that burns through the night Fear not the pint, fear not the pint Raise up your glass and drink with all your might [Verse 2] Have you heard the bottle call your name And felt the fire within your veins While you're searching for a stout? Sometimes when the tavern starts to spin You find your soul just wants to grin And shout the spirits of the stout [Chorus] Fear not the pint, fear not the pint I have a hearty thirst that burns through the night Fear not the pint, fear not the pint The bar is blessed and every pint’s a rite [Verse 3] Have you wandered home through misty streets And thought you heard some shuffling feet But found the echo’s all you hear? And though you’re weaving left and right Your mind is full of cheer and light No ghost can haunt a man with beer [Chorus] Fear not the pint, fear not the pint I have a hearty thirst that burns through the night Fear not the pint, fear not the pint The pub is holy and the tap runs bright [Instrumental Break – fiddle & whistle solo] [Bridge – Call and response] Fear not the pint! – Fear not the pint! Sing it loud now! – Fear not the pint! Fill up your glass! – Fear not the pint! Down to the last! – Fear not the pint! Cheers to the night! – Fear not the pint! Hold your drink tight! – Fear not the pint! Dance till you drop! – Fear not the pint! Never you stop! – Fear not the pint! [Verse 4] Reading old tales from long ago Of banshees wailing soft and low The drink will clear your troubled mind Maybe your thoughts are just a haze The whiskey casts its warming blaze And shadows dance with songs behind [Chorus – extended] Fear not the pint, fear not the pint I have a hearty thirst that burns through the night Fear not the pint, fear not the pint Raise up your glass and drink with all your might Fear not the pint, fear not the pint I have a brave old heart and soul so bright Fear not the pint, fear not the pint In every drop, we toast to life’s delight [Outro – softly with bodhrán beat] When I’m walking the long road I am a man who drinks alone
