This is an unreleased (as far as I know) Mountain Goats song. For a video, check out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmZkc-65jEg.
The chorus contains some Gaelic. "Bainne na mbó is na gamhna" translates to "the milk
of the cow is good for the
calf". Pronunciation is something like "BAN-yeh nuh moh iss nuhng OW-nuh". I'm not a
Gaelic expert, so here's my
source: http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com/translation/topic29414.html). To hear it
pronounced, check out any
version of the original folk song, "The Juice of the Barley".

AHe hit me rDight in the fAace.
AI drove the DFalcon uptoEwn.
AHung out in the lDibrary parkAing loDt.
AThe swelling'll Enever go dowAn.
DTied a Hiram Walker in the lininAg
Aof my father's old corduroy coaEt --
Abig, big pDlans hatching iAn my braDin and a
Abig ugly lEump in my thrAoat.
DI Adrove up to Harvey Mudd and I played pinball
A'tEil I didn't want to kill anyone.
ApoDliAshDed off all my cheap whiskey
AanEd Astepped out into the California sun.
ASiDngAing bainne na mbó is na ngamhna,
AanDd Ethe juice of the barley for me.
ASiDngAinDg bainne na mbó is na ngamhna,
AanEd Athe juice of the barley for me.

AMyD tAhirst carried me up the coast,
AwhDerEe it only got sharper, God damn it,
AinD aA sDmall room that got even smaller
Aa EblAock away from the Wilamette.
DThAere was nowhere I needed to go,
AanEd nowhere I wanted to be.
AAnDd AmyD window looked out upon nothing,
AanEd Anothing looked right back at me.
DI Ahad a couple of things on my mind,
Aa Ecouple of problems to think through,
AanDd AI Ddrank 'til I couldn't see straight anymore --
AunEtiAl there was nothing to drink to.
AsiDngAing bainne na mbó is na ngamhna,
AanDd Ethe juice of the barley for me.
AsiDngAinDg bainne na mbó is na ngamhna,
AanEd Athe juice of the barley for me.
hey!
