You're A Good Man Albert Brown Lyrics - Xtc

Well you're a good man albert brown 

And you was wounded in the war 

And though you shot some people down 

You're still a good man albert brown 

Well you're a good man albert brown 

Though you are drunk upon the floor 

And if you're buying the next round 

Then you're a good man albert... 

Brown was the colour of the mud across the somme 

Red was the blood you spilled upon it 

Pink were the fingers of the nurse who dressed your wound 

White was the starch upon her bonnet 

And you married that nurse 

And her name was else 

And then along came dad 

...i'll have another pint of... 

Brown is the colour of your old walking boots 

Green is the cash you'd love to squander 

Gold is the colour of your wife's faithful heart 

So get yourself home, no more to wander 

And you married that nurse 

And her name's still else 

And another child was had 

You're a good man albert brown
