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
