Each day is harder to get through. My head it is spinning, I don't think I'm winning the race. Whenever I think of the future. I just see the one thing that might bring a smile to my face..
To each and everyone of you. I say goodbye, farewell, adieu. To each and all I say goodbye. I know it's been fun but we're living a lie.. . You said you spoke straight from the heart.
My daddy was a miner, said there was nothing finer. Than an Irish man who worked an honest day. From Steamboat Row, in rain or shine, he'd make his way down to the mine.
Playing guitar Friday night in Sally's club bar. Big money man says 'Won't you join my rock 'n' roll band?'. . 'But if I'm going to make you a star, boy.
Shoeshine boy, he's makin' his money workin' dowtown on Main Street. Shoeshine boy, I know it ain't funny cleanin' everything on two feet. Get down, get down upon your knees and brush your blues away.
Rick rack, rickety rack. See the train go along the track. When I grow up I want to be an engine driver. But if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver..
Walk in, sit down, open up your case. Tune up, and turn 'round to show your face to the crowd. Sing a song in a genuine bluegrass voice. About your big Dixie Darling, the banjo that's always in tune..
Patrick my primitive painter of art. You will always and ever be near to my heart. I will never cross water, never cross sea. We will always be with you, Jockie, Mally, and me..
To Rafferty's Bar in my old jaunting car. I took myself one Friday evening. To think on a son so deceiving. It's one drink down and another to go.. . He was married in haste to a woman unchaste.
"Do it on the microphone, thank you, Gerald" (you have to turn it up way loud to hear this). . Sitting here is really bringing me down. I think I'll get up and go downtown.
Mr. Universe, can you help me please?. I'm only seven stone two. When I'm on the beach, the girls stay out of reach. They all want someone like you.. .
Mary Skeffington, close your eyes. And make believe that you are just a girl again. Go to sleep tonight, dream of days. When you had something there to light the way..
Many times I've seen you. Each time you always act the same. You've got everything you'll ever need, on that we're all agreed. I really do believe that butter wouldn't melt in your mouth..
Look over the hill and far away. We'll see the start of a brand new day. Heaven help us when it arrives. One more day with tears in our eyes. For the only one, lonely one.
I stood and looked across the water. I had to get to the other side. Because I knew that you'd be waitin'. I didn't want to take the long way 'round..
Every time I'm away I think about you. I wish that you were near me. Gets so bad at times I talk to myself. I wish that you could hear me.. . I get to thinking how it all started out, and I know, oh I know.
Humblebums (classic acoustic) version. . The coat she wore still lies upon the bed. The book I gave her that she never read. She left without a single word to say.
Goin' down a dusty road, I turned my head âround. Looking for somewhere to go, a place to lay my head down. Check into a small hotel and there before my eyes.
I sat down to cry. I heard a friend of mine say 'My, oh my. What you doin' down there, boy, with your nose stuck on the ground?'. Hear me shout, don't count me out..
Can I Have My Money Back? version. . Didn't I tell you? Didn't I tell you true?. Didn't I say the words that meant so much to me?. Didn't I love you, just like you wanted me to?.
