| Ah, Tom is young and Tom is bold
|
| Tom is as bold as the knights of old
|
| But whenever he gets in a bit of a jam
|
| There’s nothing he won’t do to get a harry rag
|
| Harry rag, harry rag
|
| Do anything just to get a harry rag
|
| And he curses himself for the life he’s led
|
| And rolls himself a harry rag and puts himself to bed
|
| Ah, Tom’s old ma is a dying lass
|
| Soon they all reckon she’ll be pushing up the grass
|
| And her bones might ache and her skin might sag
|
| But still she’s got the strength to have a harry rag
|
| Harry rag, harry rag
|
| Do anything just to get a harry rag
|
| And she curses herself for the life she’s led
|
| And rolls herself a harry rag and puts herself to bed
|
| Ah, bless you tax man, bless you all
|
| You may take some but you never take it all
|
| But if I give it all, I won’t feel sad
|
| As long as I’ve got enough to buy a harry rag
|
| Harry rag, harry rag
|
| Do anything just to get a harry rag
|
| And I curse myself for the life I’ve led
|
| And roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed
|
| Ah, the smart young ladies of the land
|
| Can’t relax without a harry in their hand
|
| And they light one up and they boast and brag
|
| So content because they got a harry rag
|
| Harry rag, harry rag
|
| Do anything just to get a harry rag
|
| And they’ll light one up and they’ll boast and brag
|
| So content because they got a harry rag
|
| Harry rag, harry rag
|
| I’ll do anything just to get a harry rag
|
| And I curse myself for the life I’ve led
|
| And roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed |
