Lyrics

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 wish that all this rain 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 bollock 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 that 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 the place without a penny or fuck
 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
 My brother earned his medals at My Lai 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 from 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
