Lyrics
This one's called "Boys from the County Hell" ♪ On the first day of March it was raining It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen I drank ten pints of beer and I cursed all the people there I wish that all this rain would stop falling down on me And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll 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 bastard that you have ever seen To lose a single penny would grieve him awful sore He was a miserable bollocks and a bitch's bastard's whore And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink And mother wake me early in the morning I recall that we took care of him one Sunday We got him out the back, we broke his fucking balls Maybe that was dreaming and maybe that was real All I know is I left the place without a penny or fuckall And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink And mother wake me early in the morning Now I've the most charming of verandahs I sit and watch the junkies, the drunks, the pimps, the whores Five green bottles sitting on the floor I wish to Christ, I wish to Christ that I had 15 more And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink And mother wake me early in the morning ♪ And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink And mother wake me early in the morning 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, my mother a madam My brother earned his medals at Mỹ Lai in Vietnam And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink My 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 from the county hell And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink My mother wake me early in the morning And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink My mother wake me early in the morning
