[00:12.64]Lyricist：Francis McLaughlin
[00:25.28]Composer：Francis McLaughlin
[00:37.92]Oh I've loved you from afar I've borne you like a scar
[00:41.23]Sung your name across the bloody colfiorito
[00:44.31]But a poison took your heart you charmless little tart
[00:47.56]Now you've nary a jot o' bother at all for me o
[00:50.76]This old town has gone to bits all the
[00:52.72]Folk are off their tits
[00:53.83]Screamin' hoorah hurry the f**k t'blazes
[00:57.23]A right parade o' fools come to stomp all o'er yer jewels
[01:00.30]Like a fistful o' half dead roses
[01:03.29]And we're here again ho again let the whisky flow again
[01:06.88]Let the taps blow again sound away the knell
[01:09.69]Like a fistful o' roses we'll take 'em to the grave
[01:13.00]Every last tale there is to tell
[01:34.95]Oh this boozer is a wreck all up down the deck
[01:38.31]Like a tired old sinner off her game
[01:41.43]Wi' her blood red lips and her youth about her hips
[01:44.61]Still the regulars all love her just the same
[01:47.80]Where the mud spat boots cut their way among the suits
[01:51.03]And the sally's come to rattle
[01:52.51]The can for Jesus
[01:54.34]'Til they chain up all the
[01:55.53]Doors and toss out all the whores
[01:57.47]Wi' a fistful o' half dead roses
[02:00.67]And we're here again ho again let the whisky flow again
[02:04.13]Let the taps blow again sound away the knell
[02:06.99]Like a fistful o' roses we'll take 'em to the grave
[02:10.35]Every last tale there is to tell
[03:04.58]May all the autumn leaves turn to twenties at yer feet
[03:07.79]And the high and mighty come to know your thunder
[03:11.10]We could set the world ablaze but these are early days
[03:14.25]And there's still a hell of a road for us tae wander
[03:17.27]And there's one here among us'll
[03:19.25]Outlive the rest
[03:20.60]Take a tipple to his foibles and his praises
[03:23.61]'Til they strike him off the
[03:24.98]Roll and chuck him doon a hole
[03:26.99]Wi' a fistful o' half dead roses
[03:29.99]And we're here again ho again let the whisky flow again
[03:33.45]Let the taps blow again sound away the knell
[03:36.38]Like a fistful o' roses we'll take 'em to the grave
[03:39.84]Every last tale there is to tell
[03:42.61]And we're here again ho again let the whisky flow again
[03:46.07]Let the taps blow again sound away the knell
[03:49.08]Like a fistful o' roses we'll take 'em to the grave
[03:52.35]Every last tale there is to tell
[04:11.02]Till
[04:16.57]To to
[04:22.57]Till to
[04:39.26]Till
