Uncle Tommy Lyrics - Artist : Rumjacks, The
Early one November me Uncle Tommy joined the army
Kitted him out for danger and ferried him o'er the sea He threw me o'er his shoulder, sang to me a dirty ditty Telling me when I were older "you'll be just like me" A half a bottle o' whisky, tattoo of a pretty lady Half a dozen Havana's and his Aunties rosary A-thunderin' oe'r the border, guns a-blazin', hells a-raisin' "Here I am ya bastards, ye'll no be havin' me!" Tommy was a rifle, Tommy was a razor Tommy was a ramblin' man A silver blade in the dyin' shade Oor Tommy was a fightin' man! The following December he sent a card to Auntie Annie Tellin' her he were frozen half to death upon a hill Sick o' the sound o' trash cans, kickin' in doors on dear old ladies Sick o' the screamin' babies, he had lost the bottle tae kill Tommy was a rifle, Tommy was a razor Tommy was a ramblin' man A silver blade in the dyin' shade Oor Tommy was a fightin' man! Tommy was a rifle, Tommy was a razor Tommy was a ramblin' man A silver blade in the dyin' shade Oor Tommy was a fightin' man! He earn't his scars in German bars And breakin' the hearts o' the maids o' Norway Trained his guns upon the Huns And boxed the sons o' proud old Galway Tommy was a rifle, Tommy was a razor Tommy was a Ramblin' man Quick with a pound when yer luck was down Oor Tommy was a Jerry can Early one November me Uncle Tommy left the army Stripped him o' his regalia and ferried him o'er the main He took me by the shoulder, sang to me a dirty ditty "Bastard's only love ye when ye're shootin' at yer ain!" |
