the rumjacks - one summers day lyrics
they married in the civic hall, avoiding all the rigmarole
a pr-ck of a man we liked to call ‘c-ck-a-doodled-andy’
drank a pint o’ ‘truth-be-told’, called the bride a filthy moll
there the party lost control & rioted ‘til sunday
toward the quay they went, spewed all o’er the pavement
torched the halls o’ parliament & smashed up all the stores
the crusty invalids, the men, the women, the rusty lids
all played a game o’ busty-heads & settled up old scores
our fathers never taught us nowt can fall into a fist
our mothers never told us there’d be days like this!
now we’re screamin’ at the coppers with a belly full o p-ss
what a h-lluva way to celebrate yer day
oh i love you so, i hope i get to let you know before they lock my silly -rs- away
oh i love you so, don’t forget to write me tho’ & i’ll return to you one summers day
“no bottles! no blades allowed” shouted father hugh macleod
who kissed his beads, blessed the crowd & rolled upboth his sleeves
soon i found me on the toes o’ blackie anderson
who promised he would put me on me -rs- before he leaves
he gouged an eye, he took an ear to match the one he took the year
i took away his mary dear & made her all me own
the right, the left, the hook, he played the fox, i played the chook
and i carved him like a turkey to the bone
oh i love you so, i hope i get to let you know before they lock my silly -rs- away
oh i love you so, don’t forget to write me tho’ & i’ll return to you one summers day
oh i love you so, i hope i get to let you know before they lock my silly -rs- away
oh i love you so, don’t forget to write me tho’ & i’ll return to you one summers day
sticks, stones, broken bones, bleedin’ hearts & broken homes
all screamin’ for the preacher wi’ his holy wine & wafer
still the pipes o’ war howled away & way before thedust had even settled
we were in the mornin’ paper
by the merc’n’tile the mob were near collapse
when casey barred the door & kicked the head off all the taps
and we p-ssed away the pain of all the punches and the slaps
’til the wallopers came to sweep us off the bay
oh i love you so, i hope i get to let you know before they lock my silly -rs- away
oh i love you so, don’t forget to write me tho’ & i’ll return to you one summers day
