The Pogues Boys From The County Hell

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 that 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
