Home Rule |
She bore half a ton o' sons & had to bury all but one |
Who’s locked away in prison for not takin' up his gun |
Now all she has to comfort her from this day to her last |
Are a box of old white feathers some lumps o' brass |
Home rule! |
(Keep 'em at home) rule |
Put pressure where it bleeds |
We’re rippin' out the roses with the weeds |
She sings 'keep yer boys at home by fires warm & bright |
Let the generals look stupid when there’s no one there to fight |
Let 'em sort it out among 'emselves, or kill each other tryin' |
So that better men than they are kept from dyin" |
Home rule! |
(Keep 'em at home) rule |
Put pressure where it bleeds |
We’re rippin' out the roses with the weeds |
The walls are all bruised with the damp |
The curtains are drawn all 'round |
There’s great piles o' leaves, paint flakes from the eaves |
Where they’ve hung like her poor worried brow |
«Oh where did you go to my lovely? |
This house is no longer a home |
It’ll rot like a shell each day you’re in hell |
Oh why’d you go leave me alone?" |
Their pictures hang crooked, no glass in the frame |
They’ve been stuck back together though they’re never the same |
«Choked wi' pride |
I’m buckled with shame!» |
Home rule! |
(Keep 'em at home) rule |
Put pressure where it bleeds |
We’re rippin' out the roses with the weeds |
Home rule! |
(Keep 'em at home) rule |
Put pressure where it bleeds |
We’re rippin' out the roses |
We’re rippin' out the roses |
We’re rippin' out the roses with the weeds |
