POGUES - Boys From The County Hell lyrics

rate me

On the first day of march it was raining<br>It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen<br>I drank ten pints of beer and I cursed all the people there<br>And I wish that all this raining would stop falling down on me<br><br>And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink<br>And mother wake me early in the morning<br><br>At the time I was working for a landlord<br>And he was the meanest bastard that you have ever seen<br>And to lose a single penny would grieve him awful sore<br>And he was a miserable bollocks and a bitch's bastard's whore<br><br>And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink<br>And mother wake me early in the morning<br><br>I recall we took care of him one sunday<br>We got him out the back and we broke his fucking balls<br>And maybe that was dreaming and maybe that was real<br>But all I know is I left that place without a penny or fuck all<br><br>And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink<br>And mother wake me early in the morning<br><br>But now I've the most charming of verandahs<br>I sit and watch the junkies, the drunks, the pimps, the whores<br>Five green bottles sitting on the floor<br>I wish to christ, I wish to christ<br>That I had fifteen more<br><br>And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink<br>And mother wake me early in the morning<br><br>And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink<br>And mother wake me early in the morning<br><br>The boys and me are drunk and looking for you<br>We'll eat your frigging entrails and we won't give a damn<br>Me daddy was a blue shirt and my mother a madam<br>And my brother earned his medals at mai lei in vietnam<br><br>And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink<br>And mother wake me early in the morning<br><br>On the first day of march it was raining<br>It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen<br>Stay on the other side of the road<br>'cause you can never tell<br>We've a thirst like a gang of devils<br>We're the boys of the county hell<br><br>And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink<br>And mother wake me early in the morning<br><br>And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink<br>And mother wake me early in the morning
