Daddy was a dirty fighting man 

He walked tall with his money in his shoe 

With a left and a right 

And a sonny say goodnight 

Eyes were a cold steel blue 

 

Momma went down like a ton of coal 

Shared her bed with anyone who dared 

Wash your hands 

Take it like a man 

Never let em know your scared 

Never let em know your scared 

 

Oh, what shall we do with the drunken failure? 

Shanghai the bastard to Australia 

If we never see you again 

Buddy that'll be too soon 

Everybody knows that the odds ain't even 

Show me a god that's worth believing 

Better place your bets cause the boat is leaving 

Underneath an eastern moon 

Underneath an eastern moon 

 

Sissy had a thing for contraband 

Nose to the grindstone 

Finger in the pie 

No way out 

Give the kid a clout 

Drowned her in a pint of rye 

 

Brother was a drunken gambling man 

Rolled his dice and always played the fool 

Roll 'em high 

Sock 'em in the eye 

Beat him like a rented mule 

Beat him like a rented mule 

 

Oh, what shall we do with the drunken failure? 

Shanghai the bastard to Australia 

If we never see you again 

Buddy that'll be too soon 

Everybody knows that the odds ain't even 

Show me a god that's worth believing 

Better place your bets cause the boat is leaving 

Underneath an eastern moon 

Underneath an eastern moon
