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
And I wish
that all this raining 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
And he was
the meanest bastard that you have ever seen
And to lose a
single penny would grieve him awful sore
And 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 we
took care of him one Sunday
We got him
out the back and we broke his fucking balls
And maybe
that was dreaming and maybe that was real
But all I
know is I left that place without a penny or fuck all
And it's lend
me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
And mother
wake me early in the morning
But 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
fifteen 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 and my mother a madam
And my
brother earned his medals at Mai Lei in Vietnam
And it's lend
me ten pounds and I'll 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 it's lend
me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother
wake me early in the morning
