Jakey's Gin |
| When I was a young man I was let astray |
| I met with a body down in Logy Bay |
| We went out in a weather |
| We wore out our shoes, |
| And up Kingsway road for a drink or two |
| Drink 'er up boys its well after ten |
| Drink 'er up boys its well after ten. |
| Some people say that the pinky is fine |
| Others will swear by a drop of moonshine |
| But as for myself I’m a bottle of each, |
| mixed in with a gallon of dipper or screech |
| Its the old shavin’lotion thats made me this way |
| Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea |
| And when in the evening when we’re feeling fine |
| We’ll stop into Jakey’s for icon and shine |
| Its the old shavin’lotion thats made me this way |
| Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea |
| And when in the morning when I’m feeling rough |
| I curse, ol’Jakey who sold me this stuff |
