| Well it’s another rainy night, here in my hometown,
|
| And the rain beats down on the stone surround
|
| Of the prison grounds
|
| Well you can raise a smile but lower your eyes
|
| When you pass by You’d surely understand if you were the man
|
| Doing time
|
| I guess it’s fair to say I had more than my share that day And
|
| You know, I’ve been told all prison bars are closed
|
| (Chorus) So won’t you raise your glass and get drunk
|
| For me 'Cos I’m the fool who drank too much, you see.
|
| So won’t you set them up unselfishly Please raise your
|
| Glass to foolish me.
|
| When I left the factory gate I was perfectly straight and sober But I Stopped for a short one which led to a long one and murder Well he Was six feet five, about twice my size, but I was crazy Because I heard
|
| Him say, my wife, in the day was no lady.
|
| I guess it’s fair to say
|
| I had more than my share that day
|
| And you know, I’ve been told all prison bars are closed
|
| (Chorus) So won’t you raise your glass and drink
|
| To me 'Cos I’m the fool who left her alone you see.
|
| So won’t you set them up unselfishly Please raise
|
| Your glass to foolish me. |
