Boys From The County Hell Lyrics by Pogues

Boys From The County Hell Lyrics

    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 i cursed all the people there
    And i wish that all this raining would stop falling down on me

    And it's lend me ten pounds, i'll buy you a drink
    And mother wake me early in the morning

    At the time i was working for a landlord
    And he was the meanest bastard that you have ever seen
    And to lose a single penny would grieve him awful sore
    And he was a miserable bollocks and a bitch's bastard's whore

    And it's lend me ten pounds, i'll buy you a drink
    And mother wake me early in the morning

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

    And it's lend me ten pounds, i'll buy you a drink
    And mother wake me early in the morning

    But now i've the most charming of verandahs
    I sit and watch the junkies, the drunks, the pimps, the whores
    Five green bottles sitting on the floor
    I wish to christ, i wish to christ
    That i had fifteen more

    And it's lend me ten pounds, i'll buy you a drink
    And mother wake me early in the morning

    And it's lend me ten pounds, i'll buy you a drink
    And mother wake me early in the morning

    The boys and me are drunk and looking for you
    We'll eat your frigging entrails and we won't give a damn
    Me daddy was a blue shirt and my mother a madam
    And my brother earned his medals at mai lei in vietnam

    And it's lend me ten pounds and i'll buy you a drink
    And mother wake me early in the morning

    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 of the county hell

    And it's lend me ten pounds and i'll buy you a drink
    And mother wake me early in the morning

    And it's lend me ten pounds and i'll buy you a drink
    And mother wake me early in the morning
