Irish Midi-Files
Irish Toasts
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again.
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven!

May the enemies of Ireland never meet a friend.

Here's to your coffin!
May your coffin have six handles of finest silver!
May your coffin be carried by six fair young maids!
And may your coffin be made of the finest wood
from a 100-year-old tree, that I'll go plant tomorrow!

There are only two kinds of people in the world,
The Irish, and those who wish they were.

As you slide down the banister of life,
May the splinters never point in the wrong direction.

Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

May the grass grow long on the road to hell for want of use.
May your right hand always
Be stretched out in friendship
And never in want

May you work like you don't need  the money,
Love like you've never been hurt, and
Dance like no one is watching.

May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven
half an hour before the devil know you're dead.

Here's a toast to your enemies' enemies!

Here's to the four hinges of society.
May you fight, steal, lie and drink.
When you fight, may you fight for your country.
When you steal, may you steal from bad company.
When you lie, may you lie at the side of your sweetheart.
And when you drink, may you drink with me.

May the roof over our heads never fall in.
And may we as friends never fall out.

May the most you wish for
Be the least you get.

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light.
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.

You've blessed me with friends and laughter and fun
With rain that's as soft as the light from the sun
You've blessed me with the stars to brighten each night
You've given me help to know wrong from right
You've given me so much, so please Lord give me too
A heart that is always grateful to you.

It's easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song.
But the man worth while is the one who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong.

I drink to your health when I'm with you,
I drink to your health when I'm alone,
I drink to your health so often,
I'm starting to worry about my own!

May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty.

May you have a clean shirt,
a clear conscience,
and enough coins in your pocket to buy a pint.

May misfortune follow you for the rest of your life,
and never catch up.
Always remember to forget
The friends
that proved untrue.

But never to forget to
remember those
that have stuck by you.
Here's to you and
here's to me
I pray that friends
we'll always be,
But if by chance
we disagree,
The fuck with you
and here's to me!
Here's to a long life
and a merry one;
A quick death
and an easy one;
A pretty girl
and an honest one;
A cold beer
and another one!


May luck be your friend
In whatever you do
And may trouble be always
A stranger to you.
Ireland, it's the
one place on earth
That heaven has blessed
With melody, mirth,
And meadow and mist.
May you live
as long as you want,
And never want
as long as you live.
I have known many,
and like not a few,
but loved only one
and this toast is to you.
Wherever you go
and whatever you do,
May the luck of the Irish
be there with you.
Do not resent growing old.
Many are denied the privilege.


If your enough lucky
to be Irish....
You're lucky enough!
Here's to being single...
Drinking doubles...
And seeing triple!

May the saddest day
of your future be no worse
than the happiest
day of your past.
