Knights - Fie On Goodness! lyrics
rate meFie on goodness, fie<br />
Fie on goodness, fie<br />
<br />
Eight years of kindness to your neighbor<br />
Making sure that the meek are treated well<br />
Eight years of philanthropic labor<br />
Derry down dell, damn, but it's hell<br />
<br />
Oh, fie on goodness, fie<br />
Fie, fie, fie<br />
<br />
It's been depressing all the way<br />
Derry down, derry down<br />
And getting glummer every day<br />
Derry down, derry down<br />
<br />
Ah, but to burn a little town<br />
Or slay a dozen men<br />
Anything to laugh again<br />
<br />
Oh, fie on goodness, fie<br />
Fie, fie, fie, fie, fie<br />
<br />
When I think of the rollicking pleasures<br />
That earlier filled my life<br />
Lolly lo, lolly lo<br />
Like the time I beheaded a man<br />
Who was beating his naked wife<br />
Lolly lo, lolly lo<br />
<br />
I can still hear his widow say<br />
Never moving from where she lay<br />
"Tell me what can I do, I beg, sir, of you<br />
Your kindness to repay"<br />
<br />
Fie on goodness, fie<br />
Fie on goodness, fie<br />
<br />
Lechery and vice have been arrested, arrested<br />
Not a maiden is evermore in threat<br />
Virgins may wander unmolested, unmolested<br />
Lolly lo let, gad, it's a sweat<br />
<br />
Oh, fie on goodness, fie<br />
Fie, fie, fie, fie, fie<br />
<br />
How we roared and brawled in Scotland<br />
Not a law was e'er obeyed<br />
And when wooing called in Scotland<br />
We'd grab any parsing maid<br />
<br />
Ah, my heart is still in Scotland<br />
Where the lasses woo the best<br />
On some bonny hill in Scotland<br />
Stroking someone's bonny<br />
<br />
Fie on Scotland, fie<br />
Fie on Scotland, fie<br />
<br />
No one repents for any sin now<br />
Every soul is immaculate and trim, immaculate<br />
No one is covered with chagrin now<br />
Lolly lo lim, gad, but it's grim<br />
<br />
Oh, fie on goodness, fie<br />
Fie, fie, fie<br />
<br />
There's not a folly to deplore<br />
Derry down, derry down<br />
Confession Sunday is a bore<br />
Derry down, derry down<br />
<br />
Ah, but to spend a tortured evening<br />
Staring at the floor<br />
Guilty and alive once more<br />
<br />
Oh, fie on virtue, fie<br />
Fie on mercy, fie<br />
Fie on justice, fie on goodness<br />
Fie, fie, fie, fie, fie
