One Drink Down |
| To Rafferty’s Bar in my old jaunting car |
| I took myself one Friday evening |
| To think on a son so deceiving |
| It’s one drink down and another to go. |
| He was married in haste to a woman unchaste |
| Much to the shame of the father |
| His face still half-covered in lather |
| It’s one drink down and another to go. |
| It’s one drink down and another to go When I pass through the town I must hang my head low |
| It’s one drink down and another to go. |
| I’m not the kind to condemn out of hand |
| A woman whose virtue is easy |
| Just as long as she doesn’t deceive me It’s one drink down and another to go. |
| Imagine a life with an unfaithful wife |
| Might wake up in the morning |
| And find that she’s left without warning |
| It’s one drink down and another to go. |
| It’s one drink down and another to go When I pass through the town I must hang my head low |
| It’s one drink down and another to go. |
