Broughton
Well it's another rainy night, here in my hometown
And the rain beats down on the stone surround
Of the prison grounds
Well you can raise a smile but lower your eyes
When you pa** by
You'd surely understand if you were the man
Doing time
I guess it's fair to say I had more than my share that day And
You know, I've been told all prison bars are closed
(Chorus) So won't you raise your gla** and get drunk
For me 'Cos I'm the fool who drank too much, you see
So won't you set them up unselfishly Please raise your
Gla** to foolish me
When I left the factory gate I was perfectly straight and sober But I
Stopped for a short one which led to a long one and murder Well he
Was six feet five, about twice my size, but I was crazy Because I heard
Him say, my wife, in the day was no lady
I guess it's fair to say
I had more than my share that day
And you know, I've been told all prison bars are closed
(Chorus) So won't you raise your gla** and drink
To me 'Cos I'm the fool who left her alone you see
So won't you set them up unselfishly Please raise
Your gla** to foolish me
