The Roaring Boys (parts 1 And 2) Lyrics - Tinderbox - Stiff Little Fingers

Paddy is waiting in Drogheda town 

For the train to carry him south 

Another drunken night on the town 

Messing around 

The Roaring Boys, the roaring boys 

It's all the same to the roaring boys 

They come into town just to make some noise 

Oh the life of the roaring boys 

Drinking and fighting and acting the fool 

Shouting insults and thinking you're cool 

Telling lies and believing they're true 

Who's fooling who 

Chorus rpt: 

Oh the life of the roaring boys. 

Won't you tell me all your cares and problems 

Won't you tell me why you look so blue 

I'll take you into town, yeah, show you a thing or two 

I know every bar and nightclub 

Yeh, no two will be the same 

I know every nightclub doorman 

And they'll all know my name 

They all know my name 

Hey Charlie can you lend us a tenner 

Just until Saturday night 

You know I'll pay you back man 

You know I'll see you right cos 

Chorus: 

I am a roaring boy 

A wild colonial boy 

I'll party all night long 

Roaring boy 

Hey Stevie, let's hit the town 

I've got some money that I want to spend 

Let's go out on a bender, let's get drunk again 

But, 

Don't tell me 'bout your cares and problems 

Cos' I don't really want to know 

I've got train to catch yeah 

And I have got to go cos 

Chorus: x 2
