Kathleen |
| When he fell to his knee she thought |
| He must’ve spied a penny at his feet |
| And the water in his eye was just the rain |
| Over the Glasgow city street |
| She rifles through her coat |
| To find a cigarette |
| A' to give her shakin' hands something to do |
| 'For Chrissakes Jimmy |
| How longs it take to tie yer shoe?' |
| Kathleen, won’t you take this ring? |
| It’s not the worst that’s ever happened |
| Or the cheapest piece o' shit you’ve ever seen |
| O Kathleen, while me hairs all me own |
| And I still have a song left to sing |
| I’ve had enough o sleepin' rough |
| I want a warm safe place of all me own |
| We can stack a pile o bricks out in the sticks |
| And build ourselves a home |
| And down all the years you’ll pretend not to notice |
| I’ve been swappin' all yer whisky for tea |
| When I go singin' in the chapel |
| You’ll go sittin' three rows from me |
| Kathleen, won’t you take this ring? |
| It’s not the worst that’s ever happened |
| Or the cheapest piece o' shit you’ve ever seen |
| O Kathleen, while me hairs all me own |
| And I still have a song left to sing |
| With that fire in yer belly |
| You can help me keep the wolves from the door |
| We can go to bed hungry |
| So the children don’t know that we’re poor |
| We’ll teach 'em love tackles hate |
| And be they sinner or a saint |
| We can hold 'em up as heroes all the same |
| May they be strangers to the devil |
| And a choir o' angels sing their name |
| Kathleen, won’t you take this ring? |
| It’s not the worst that’s ever happened |
| Or the cheapest piece o' shit you’ve ever seen |
| O Kathleen, while me hairs all me own |
| And I still have a song left to sing |
| When he fell to his knee she thought |
| He must’ve had a crisis of the soul |
| And the sorrow in his eye was just him |
| Lookin' for a steady hand to hold |
| 'Through the laughter and the tears |
| We grew silver with the years |
| While so many gave each other up for dead' |
| Though at times they hardly spoke y’know |
| They stayed together, it’s just what people did |
| Kathleen, won’t you take this ring? |
| It’s not the worst that’s ever happened |
| Or the cheapest piece o' shit you’ve ever seen |
| O Kathleen, while me hairs all me own |
| And I still have a song left to sing |
| O Kathleen |
| O Kathleen |
| O Kathleen |
| O Kathleen |
