With a Whiskey or four and me head on the floor I could see the lights come shining through the pints I saw you on the phone, sweet Janey I passed out on the way back home I hopped a train to West Wisconsin this copper found me all alone Oh Jane, my girl, this whole bloody world he kicked me in the teeth and left me to die Chorus: and you've been sailing away for a year and a day to leave me singing the Drunkard's Lullaby You said "Life is short and time distorts" And you couldn't wait another year for my luck The Pacific is a dangerous ocean it stretches from the east to the west They pulled the glass out from my shoulder they stitched me up along my chest You're gone, you're gone I'll carry on with all the words to "Fields of Athenry" Chorus Songtexte And I swear to God, When I'm down in the sod My maggots and my worms will slur their speech Aren't we all doing what we have to just doin' what we have to do? You're swimming off the coast of Malta I'm drowning in the mountain dew You're gone, you're gone, I'll carry on Though I'm sitting here too f****** c***** to cry Chorus Aus Songtexte Mania
