On the first day of March it was raining
|
It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen
|
I drank ten pints of beer and I cursed all the people there
|
And I wish that all this raining would stop falling down on me
|
And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
|
And mother wake me early in the morning
|
At the time I was working for a landlord
|
And he was the meanest bastard that you have ever seen
|
And to lose a single penny would grieve him awful sore
|
And he was a miserable bollocks and a bitch's bastard's whore
|
And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
|
And mother wake me early in the morning
|
I recall we took care of him one Sunday
|
We got him out the back and we broke his fucking balls
|
And maybe that was dreaming and maybe that was real
|
But all I know is I left that place without a penny or fuck all
|
And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
|
And mother wake me early in the morning
|
But now I've the most charming of verandahs
|
I sit and watch the junkies, the drunks, the pimps, the whores
|
Five green bottles sitting on the floor
|
I wish to Christ, I wish to Christ
|
That I had fifteen more
|
And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
|
And mother wake me early in the morning
|
And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
|
And mother wake me early in the morning
|
The boys and me are drunk and looking for you
|
We'll eat your frigging entrails and we won't give a damn
|
Me daddy was a blue shirt and my mother a madam
|
And my brother earned his medals at Mai Lei in Vietnam
|
And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
|
And mother wake me early in the morning
|
On the first day of March it was raining
|
It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen
|
Stay on the other side of the road
|
'Cause you can never tell
|
We've a thirst like a gang of devils
|
We're the boys of the county hell
|
And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
|
And mother wake me early in the morning
|
And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
|
And mother wake me early in the morning
|
