The Pogues - Boys from the county hell - live version lyrics

On the first day of March it was raining It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen Drank ten pints of beer, cursed all the people there I wish that all this raining would stop falling down on me And I slept, lend ten pounds, buy you a drink And mother wake me early in the morning At the time I was working for a landlord He was the meanest ba*tard that you have ever seen To lose a single penny would grieve him awful sore He was a miserable bullocks and a b**h's ba*tard's who*e And I slept, lend ten pounds, 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 broke his f**ing balls And maybe that was dreaming and maybe that was real All I know is I left that place without a penny or f** all And I slept, lend ten pounds, buy you a drink And mother wake me early in the morning Now I've the most charming of verandas I sit and watch the junkies, the drunks and pimps and who*es Five green bottles sitting on the floor And I wish to Christ, I wish to Christ that I had fifteen more And I slept, lend ten pounds, buy you a drink And mother wake me early in the morning And I slept, lend ten pounds, buy you a drink 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 raping gooks in Vietnam And I slept, lend ten pounds, 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 I slept, lend ten pounds, buy you a drink And mother wake me early in the morning
