Flogging Molly - Every Dog Has Its Day Lyrics
Well I've drunk to drown, on every ocean I've beenLake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swimHalifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen's landWell I drank with the Sultan, down the Suez CanalCause Every Dog Has Its DayLike every woman, she gets her own wayAnd if there's a ship that sails tonightI'll captain that too, just to be there with youWell there was old Jerry Rooney, who was mad as a muleSpillblood Maloney had a head like one tooThat night on the bridge, with my shovel in handWell he threatened to kill me, for sure he picked the wrong manCause Every Dog Has Its DayLike every woman, she gets her own wayAnd if there's a ship that sails tonightI'll captain that too, just to be there with youWell there was mutiny in Lagos, aboard the mean ship SkondiTen or twelve days in prison, till the bastards set me freeMcCloskey you're freeCause Every Dog Has Its DayLike every woman, she gets her own wayAnd if there's a ship that sails tonightI'll captain that too, just to be there with youNow I love the sea and she wants me backSo I leave this ol' harbor, with the wind down bridget's crackGoodbye mother Theresa, I hope the kids settle downI must head for the Chinas, pray to God I don't drownFor Every Dog Has Its DayLike every woman, she gets her own wayAnd if there's a ship that sails tonightI'll captain that tooCause Every Dog Has Its DayLike every woman, she gets her own wayAnd if there's a ship that sails tonightI'll captain that too, just to be there with you
