Streams Of Whiskey Lyrics - Red Roses For Me - Pogues

Last night as I slept 

I dreamt I met with Behan 

I shook him by the hand and we passed the time of day 

When questioned on his views 

On the crux of life's philosophies 

He had but these few clear and simple words to say 

I am going, I am going 

Any which way the wind may be blowing 

I am going, I am going 

Where streams of whiskey are flowing 

I have cursed, bled and sworn 

Jumped bail and landed up in jail 

Life has often tried to stretch me 

But the rope always was slack 

And now that I've a pile 

I'll go down to the Chelsea 

I'll walk in on my feet 

But I'll leave there on my back 

Because I am going, I am going 

Any which way the wind may be blowing 

I am going, I am going 

Where streams of whiskey are flowing 

Oh the words that he spoke 

Seemed the wisest of philosophies 

There's nothing ever gained 

By a wet thing called a tear 

When the world is too dark 

And I need the light inside of me 

I'll walk into a bar 

And drink fifteen pints of beer 

I am going, I am going 

Any which way the wind may be blowing 

I am going, I am going 

Where streams of whiskey are flowing 

I am going, I am going 

Any which way the wind may be blowing 

I am going, I am going 

Where streams of whiskey are flowing 

Where streams of whiskey are flowing 

Where streams of whiskey are flowing
