letra de pinchgut - the rumjacks

if i buy you a drink will you leave me alone?
i’m a bug-eyed young stranger ’round here
i’ll tell ye nowt ye don’t already know
and my brogues too thick for your ear
see i landed this mornin’ unwashed and unfed
yer man thought i were greek, wouldn’t give me a bed
and i’ve walked all o’ sydney wi’ a heart of pure lead
and a half a warm bottle of beer
tho my room lay as quiet as the old guns o’ pinchgut
my heart beats a lonesome & steady tattoo
for a smile that i met on the boat frae southampton
oh christ! what am i gonnae do?
d’ye know i’m a full qualified engineer?
tho the paper i’ve got’s no good to me here
we built the d-mned ships that brought you all here
all we’re good for is digging a hole!
oh your frosty old evening commands me respect
and your sun locks its jaws on the back of me neck
as i pocket me pride & line up for a cheque
oh christ! what am i gonnae do?
oh christ! what am i gonnae do?
if you buy me a drink, i’ll leave you alone
i’ve talked your d-mned ears off, its time you were home
spare me the floorboards, i’ll dig you a hole
big enough to swallow the moon
