Boys from the County Hell (Live at the Brixton Academy, 2001|Explicit) - The Pogues

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 b**ch'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 f**king balls

And maybe that was dreaming and maybe that was real

But all I know is I left that place without a penny or f**k 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
