Boys From The County Hell

Shane MacGowan

On the first day of march it was raining
It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen
I drank ten pints of beer
And cursed all the people there
And wished that all this rain wasn’t falling down on me

chorus
And its lend me ten pounds
And I’ll buy you a drink
And mother wake me early in the morning

At the time I was working for a landlord
He was the meanest bastard that you have ever seen
To loose a single penny would grieve the bastard sore
And he was a miserable bollocks and a bitch and a bastards whore

chorus

I recall that we took care of him one Sunday
We brought him out the back and we broke his fucking balls
Maybe that was dreaming or maybe that was real
But all I know is I left the place without a penny or fuck all

chorus

And now I’ve the most charming of verandahs
I sit and watch the junkies, the drunks and pimps and whores
And five green bottles are sitting on the floor
I wish to Christ, I wish to Christ that I had fifty more

chorus

The boys and me are dunk and looking for ya
We'll eat your frigging entrails cause we don't give a damn
Me daddy was a blue-shirt and me mother a madam
Me brother earned his medals at My Lai in Vietnam

chorus

On the first day of march it was raining
It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen
Stay on the other side of the road cause you can never tell
We've a thirst like a gang of devils, we’re The Boys From The County Hell

chorus
