Flogging Molly - The Likes Of You Again Lyrics
Here's to you, I sing for my daddy-oAs I lay him down to sleepIt's been so long, since I lost my daddy-oHope he's watchin' over meWednesday night is mornin' nowAs I'm walkin' in the rainThe birds are screaming in my earDrivin' me insaneHalf the clouds are emptySo the sun burst through the skyThe puddles show reflectionOf a face about to dieJust around the corner, I was goin' round the bendI ran into a staggerin' foolWho said he knew my nameHe poured himself a whiskeyAnd his face began to glowTwo men without an answerLike a dog without a boneBringin' in the new yearAs the bells began to ringFats is in the corner, she's just about to singTime to get another, before the final shoutYou should have heard them roarin'When they dragged the bugger outAnd we'll never see the likes of you againJimbo came from slummin' townA cold and dreary placeTo summerland he found himselfThe sun shun on his faceMet a girl called Minnie PearlSwore she'd always be his girlHappy ever after, till the tide ran out againPour me all your sorrowsAnd I'll drink till you are dryI'll love you in the mornin'Christ, I'll love ya till you dieI'll never leave so never grieveI'll be back before ya knowBut Jimbo fell into a wellAnd never rambled homeCarried all his troubles in an unforgivin' bagBack and forth through painted brickThe colours all seemed blandI've traveled all these years, he saidTo only get this far, so he crossed the streetFound a seat, his home is now a barAnd we'll never see the likes of you againThere must be more to life, than this poxie lifeAll the agro, all the painSo he disappeared into his final beerBut the glass was empty, once again, again, againWoke up in an awful stateDreamt I was at Peter's GateBeggin' for his mercyAnd the crimes that were at handHe told me he was much amusedTo see this life I had abusedBest be on your way, but have a swig before you goSo I'm bringing in the New YearAs the bells began to ringFat's in the corner, she's just about to singTime to get another, before the final shoutYou should have heard them roarin'When they dragged the bugger outAnd we'll never see the likes of you again
