The Freak Of Enniskillen

(album: Heyday - 2019)

I was born at noon time with bottle in my hand
The midwife screamed and dropped me
'Cause she couldn't understand
Why a newborn would be wearing ragged clothes right from the start
And instead of letting out a cry, let rip a stinking fart
I headed for the front desk, on the way I kissed the nurse
Stumbled out the door and hijacked what appeared to be a hearse
I kicked it into gear and put the pedal to the floor
At the pub I hit the brakes, the casket slid out of the door

Go, go, go, rolling down the hill
Go, go, go, come and get your fill

The kindergarten playground was a bore when I arrived
But the kiddies started laughing when I taught them out to drive
The teacher came a running, shook her walking stick at me
I crashed the gate, we all made off, I set the kiddies free

Go, go, go, running down the hill
Go, go, go, come and get your fill

Not a winner, I'm a sinner
I let everybody down
And they spit into my face
I'm a king without a crown
Call me loser, call me boozer
Call me anything you want
Find me creeping, find me sleeping
In the bars I used to haunt

The Freak of Enniskillen was a liar and a cheat
Always drinking, up to trouble, wreaking havoc in the street
But he never bowed his head, he never held his cap in hand
What it was that made him laugh so hard, we'll never understand

Go, go, go, rolling down the hill
Go, go, go, come and get your fill
Go, go, go, rolling down the hill

Not a winner, I'm a sinner
I let everybody down
And they spit into my face
I'm a king without a crown
Call me loser, call me boozer
Call me anything you want
Find me creeping, find me sleeping
In the bars I used to haunt

He's no winner, he's a sinner
He lets everybody down
When they spit into his face
He's a king without a crown
Call him loser, call him boozer
Call him anything you want
Find him creeping, find me sleeping
In the bars he used to haunt

Not a winner, I'm a sinner
I let everybody down
And they spit into my face
I'm a king without a crown
Call me loser, call me boozer
Call me anything you want
Find me creeping, find me sleeping
In the bars I used to haunt

He's no winner, he's a sinner
He lets everybody down
When they spit into his face
He's a king without a crown
Call him loser, call him boozer
Call him anything you want
Find him creeping, find me sleeping
In the bars he used to haunt
