Harry

Harry

I cursed you blue that night I was drunk
I guess I’ve done worse how I love that whiskey
Work hard play hard drink hard sing loud
Go home to my wife, such a beautiful life

And they all say Harry he passed the bar
And lost it all in the shut of an eye
They put me down and I never woke up
It was the heart they said, we’ve done this a thousand times
But they lay me down and I never woke up

I’d a barrister become, son of a working class mom
A dad we called Red, oh we’d sip and we’d sing
Round the old oak table, I still loved them so
I worked this town and the backrooms as well
And all us good lawyers can just go to hell

And they say that Harry he passed the bar
But lost it all in the shut of an eye
They put me down and I never woke up
It was the heart, they said, it’s a piece of cake
But they lay me down and I never did wake

What was I born to, from the time I was small
I could sing to the heavens, I could sing for your soul
I would sing for the devil when I sang for you all
Night after night, oh night after night
Night after night can’t you hear me still?

Yes I cursed you then and I loved you as well
There was a mean streak in me that the whiskey could spill
But oh my wife, my good wife, cried through the night
Now she moves through this life a Doctor and a Doctor’s wife

And they all say Harry he passed the bar
And lost it all in the shut of an eye
They put me down and I never woke up
It was the heart they said, we’ve done this a thousand times
But they lay me down and I never woke up
They lay me down and I never woke up
They lay me down and I never woke up
