Versuri Great Big Sea - 13. Jakey's Gin



Album: Great Big Sea - Play

When I was a young man I was let astray
I met with a body down in Logy Bay
We went out in a weather, we wore out our shoes
And up Kingsway Road for a drink of Old Blue

Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten

Some people say that the Pinky is fine
Others will swear by a drop of moonshine
But as for myself, I'm a bottle of each
Mixed in with a gallon of Dipper or Screech

Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten

It's the old shavin' lotion that's made me this way
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
And then in the evening when we're feeling fine
We'll stop into Jakey's for icon and shine

Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten

It's the old shavin' lotion that's made me this way
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
And then in the morning when I'm feeling rough
I curse ol' Jakey who sold me this stuff

Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten

Take it - two, four, out the door!
