The Foxy Devil |
When I was young and handy in my prime |
In taverns I would sit and bide my time |
It’s there I met your company |
I’d sit and drink my fill |
It’s there that you took hold of me |
I think you’ve got me still |
You’re the foxy devil when you like |
You set my mind at ease and then you strike |
You set me head a-reeling |
You make me shout and sing |
My memory flees, I get no ease |
Till I have a little drink |
You’re the crafty rogue and that’s for sure |
For your company there is no cure |
I’ve squandered all my money |
And the best days of my life |
All on your charms, in spite of harm |
In spite of peace and strife |
Whiskey in the morning or at night |
Gives strength to sing and dance, to love and fight |
And so despite misfortune |
I’ll take you as you are |
The best of friends and enemies |
The best I’ve known by far |
