On the first day of March it was raining 
It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen 
I drank ten pints of beer and I cursed all the people there 
And I wish that all this raining would stop falling down on me 

And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning 

At the time I was working for a landlord 
And he was the meanest [bad word] that you have ever seen 
And to lose a single penny would grieve him awful sore 
And he was a miserable [bad word] and a [bad word] s [bad word] s [bad word] 

And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning 

I recall we took care of him one Sunday 
We got him out the back and we broke his [bad word] balls 
And maybe that was dreaming and maybe that was real 
But all I know is I left that place without a penny or [bad word] all 

And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning 

But now I've the most charming of verandahs 
I sit and watch the junkies, the [bad word]  the pimps, the whores 
Five green bottles sitting on the floor 
I wish to Christ, I wish to Christ 
That I had fifteen more 

And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning 

And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning 

The boys and me are [bad word] and looking for you 
We'll eat your frigging entrails and we won't give a [bad word] 
Me daddy was a blue shirt and my mother a madam 
And my brother earned his medals at Mai Lei in Vietnam 

And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning 

On the first day of March it was raining 
It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen 
Stay on the other side of the road 
'Cause you can never tell 
We've a thirst like a gang of devils 
We're the boys of the county [bad word] 

And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning 

And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning
