Green Ginger Wine
(专辑: Gangs Of New Holland - 2010)
Oh kiss me Maggie and take me home For I
sure dinnae feel like dying alone Gawn geez a
shot, chuck a
doggie a
bone Or a
penny for me rattling can As sure as Christ it's a
bitter pill But if you won't have me, yer sister will I'll cart me arse doon Surry Hills And call her out this evening Go on, go well, ye're no catch o' mine Yer clothes in rags, ye reek o' fags and old green ginger wine My sisters aye a
leezie into the
drinking, dogs and cards My poor departed Father couldn't flog her at the
yards I'm a
man o' some renown 'Jack the
Lad' about the
town We'll share a
plate of oysters, crack the
neck o' Billy Brown Sly grog and salty treats, I'll not grant yer wish I'm promised to the
toll collector boy upon the
bridge Like good whisky in bad wounds Like honey on a
toothache, you'll never be mine Tho' we can dance, b'Jesus, we'll swing like the
razors Of Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine Why wait until yer dancing shoes are scuffed and in the
bin? I'll stitch my holey duds, scrape the
whiskers from me chin We'll get ye down yer scarlet gown, I'll steal you something blue I'd waltz off Millers point before I
walk the
aisle with you! Like good whisky in bad wounds Like honey on a
toothache, you'll never be mine Tho' we can dance, b'Jesus, we'll swing like the
razors Of Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine Oh I'll sing you 'six ribbons'! Aye when your 'three sheets'! Yer drunken, brawling caterwauling echoes through the
streets Y'know I'm not yet very old Sure it's poison when it's cold And a
dear old southerly belters sure to blow! Like good whisky in bad wounds Like honey on a
toothache, you'll never be mine Tho' we can dance, b'Jesus, we'll swing like the
razors Of Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine Like good whisky in bad wounds Like honey on a
toothache, you'll never be mine Tho' we can dance, b'Jesus, we'll swing like the
razors Of Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine We can dance, b'Jesus, we'll swing like the
razors Of Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine Of Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine
