Green Ginger Wine Lyrics - Artist : Rumjacks, The
Oh kiss me Maggie and take me home
For I sure dinnae feel like dyin' alone Gawn geez a shot, chuck a doggie a bone Or a penny for me rattlin' can As sure as Christ it's a bitter pill But if you won't have me, yer sister will I'll cart me arse doon Surry Hills And call her out this evenin' Go on, go well, ye're no catch o' mine Yer clothes in rags, ye reek o' fags and old green ginger wine My sisters aye a leezie into the drinkin', dogs and cards My poor departed Father couldn't flog her at the yards I'm a man o' some renown 'Jack the Lad' about the town We'll share a plate of oysters, crack the neck o' Billy Brown Sly grog and salty treats, I'll not grant yer wish I'm promised to the toll collector boy upon the bridge Like good whisky in bad wounds Like honey on a toothache, you'll never be mine Tho' we can dance, b'Jesus, we'll swing like the razors Of Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine Why wait until yer dancin' shoes are scuffed and in the bin? I'll stitch my holey duds, scrape the whiskers from me chin We'll get ye down yer scarlet gown, I'll steal you somethin' blue I'd waltz off Millers point before I walk the aisle with you! Like good whisky in bad wounds Like honey on a toothache, you'll never be mine Tho' we can dance, b'Jesus, we'll swing like the razors Of Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine Oh I'll sing you 'six ribbons'! Aye when your 'three sheets'! Yer drunken, brawlin' caterwaulin' echoes through the streets Y'know I'm not yet very old Sure it's poison when it's cold And a dear old southerly belters sure to blow! Like good whisky in bad wounds Like honey on a toothache, you'll never be mine Tho' we can dance, b'Jesus, we'll swing like the razors Of Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine Like good whisky in bad wounds Like honey on a toothache, you'll never be mine Tho' we can dance, b'Jesus, we'll swing like the razors Of Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine We can dance, b'Jesus, we'll swing like the razors Of Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine Of Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine |
