letra de green ginger wine - the rumjacks

oh kiss me maggie & take me home
for i sure dinnae feel like dyin’ alone
gawn geez a shot, chuck a doggie a bone
or a penny for me rattlin’ can
as sure as christ it’s a bitter pill
but if you won’t have me, yer sister will
i’ll cart me -rs- doon surry hills & call her out this evenin’
go on, go well, ye’re no catch o’ mine
yer clothes in rags, ye reek o’ f-gs & old green ginger wine
my sisters aye a leezie into the drinkin’, dogs & cards
my poor departed father couldn’t flog her at the yards
i’m a man o’ some renown ‘jack the lad’ about the town
we’ll share a plate of oysters, crack the neck o’ billy brown
sly grog & salty treats, i’ll not grant yer wish
i’m promised to the toll collector boy upon the bridge
like good whisky in bad wounds
like honey on a toothache, you’ll never be mine
tho’ we can dance, b’jesus, we’ll swing like the razors
of kate leigh & tilly devine
why wait until yer dancin’ shoes are scuffed and in the bin?
i’ll st-tch my holey duds, scr-pe the whiskers from me chin
we’ll get ye down yer scarlet gown, i’ll steal you somethin’ blue
i’d waltz off millers point before i walk the aisle with you!
oh i’ll sing you ‘six ribbons’!
aye when your ‘three sheets’!
yer drunken, brawlin’ caterwaulin’ echoes through the streets
y’know i’m not yet very old
sure it’s poison when its cold
and a dear old southerly belters sure to blow!
