When I Was Drunk Lyrics - Artist : Richard Thompson
When I was drunk I killed a man
What did he do to me? And now his ghost will follow me Through all eternity I'll never touch another drop It shook me to the core When I was drunk I killed a man And now I'll drink no more No more, no more And now I'll drink no more Oh, drink was all my pleasure, friends Oh, drink was my delight A glass would help to numb the cold And put the world aright There's company in a glass or two Or even three or four When I was drunk I killed a man And now I'll drink no more No more, no more And now I'll drink no more One Friday night in the Compasses I was eight pints gone at least The anger rose inside of me And then out came the beast A redbeardy spilled my drink, I said You're really not to blame You can't help being a clumsy sod But I hit him just the same No more, no more And now I'll drink no more Oh, the bugger, he takes a knife to me He cut me on the wrist I grabbed the knife but then my nose Connected with his fist I hit him with something heavy And he lay still on the floor When I was drunk I killed a man But now I'll drink no more No more, no more But now I'll drink no more They buried him down in Clerkenwell In a sorry pauper's grave The priest, he spoke of ashes and dust And pilgrims being saved He said there would be peace at last Upon that distant shore Ah, but when I was drunk I killed a man But now I'll drink no more No more, no more And now I'll drink no more No more, no more And now I'll drink no more |
