Boys from the County Hell lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
I wished that all this rain would stop falling down on me

[Chorus]
And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
And mother, wake me early in the morning

[Verse 2]
At the time, I was working for a landlord
And he was the meanest bast*rd 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*tch's bast*rd's whore

[Chorus]
And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
And mother, wake me early in the morning

[Verse 3]
I recall that we took care of him one Sunday
We got him out the back and we broke his f*cking balls
And maybe that was dreaming and maybe that was real
But all I know is I left the place without a penny or f*ck all
[Chorus]
And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
And mother, wake me early in the morning

[Verse 4]
But now I've the most charming of verandas
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

[Chorus]
And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
And mother wake me early in the morning

[Chorus]
And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink
And mother, wake me early in the morning

[Verse 5]
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 My Lai in Vietnam

[Chorus]
And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother, wake me early in the morning
[Verse 6]
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 from the county hell

[Chorus]
And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother, wake me early in the morning

[Chorus]
And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother, wake me early in the morning
