McGuiness Flint - Malt and Barley Blues 1971

McGuiness Flint - Malt and Barley Blues 1971

Don't delay leave today
get out now while you can.
Don't be daft leave your half
to the hard drinking man
and if they start knocking
it's just the booze talking
they've got the Malt and Barley Blues.

Take your chance while you can
we're behind you all the way.
Some are proud some are loud
they don't heed to what they say
it's just the booze talking
it's just the booze talking
they've got the Malt and Barley Blues

Someone tries to patronise you
when you don't know why
but you can stand up and look
them right between the eyes
'cos it's just the booze talking
it's just the booze talking.
They've got the Malt and Barley Blues.

(Instrumental)

It's just the booze talking
it's just the booze talking
they've got the Malt and Barley Blues
It's just the booze talking
it's just the booze talking
they've got the Malt and Barley Blues

What show was this? Top Of The Pops? Whatever, many many thanks to fritz51300 for posting the clip. There's so little footage of McG-F at their peak with the original line-up.

Made when Graham Lyle (vocals/banjo) still had his hair! LOVE the way Benny Gallagher (bass/vocals) shakes his head and closes his eyes when he sings - he's SO into his music! I'm over the moon that he and Graham have recently got back together!

The one at the back with Guitar and Beard Is Tom McGuiness ex Manfred Mann
