The Rumjacks - Bar the door casey lyrics

Bar the door Casey, don't let me in My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again Bar the door Casey, mind the way well And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell We've fought scores of sailors for the suds frae a keg O'er the draw of a card, or a rare glimpse of leg We've graced Kuta's beaches with our pallid white skin Now Casey old mate, my barge has come in Bar the door Casey, don't let me in My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again Bar the door Casey, mind the way well And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell We've stormed foreign strands & taken our knocks Held fast to our picket & lay siege to the docks We've mourned pals & lovers too long fore their time Now Casey old China, the parting is mine Bar the door Casey, don't let me in My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again Bar the door Casey, mind the way well And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell I've penned a few lines to my missus of years If ye find where she's staying, don't wait for the tears And I've left a wee sum for to see me away And a pint to fond memory at the close of the day Bar the door Casey, don't let me in My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again Bar the door Casey, mind the way well And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell
