Pogues - Gartloney Rats Lyrics

Font:

Align:

The boys from the village were festering sore

For a day on the rant with some music and more

Theyd drink porter in mauras way over in fore

And never get drunk but stay sober

There was harry the banjo and dunne of the swan

With whose bone from the wing hed beat the bodhran

And the song that hed sing was of ganders and all

Hed never get drunk but stay sober

There was woods on the guitar and auld squeeze box too

Who came from a time before aeroplanes flew

Hed sit in a corner and mule quite a few

And hed never get drunk but stay sober

There was mahon the singer who knew all the songs

And never was known to put a foot wrong

Hed sing through the night till the break o the morn

And hed never get drunk but stay sober

Then harry the banjo now there was a man

A bottomless pit if ever there was one

More porter hed lower that there was in the land

And hed never get drunk but stay sober

Well the gartloney rats would play away

Theyd play for the pints and not for the pay

And the pints theyd go down in the usual way

And theyd never get drunk but stay sober
