And my hungry heart was only happy to meet, The girl I'ld left for me fortune. Chorus: But now she's another man's wife, A hard drinking man's wife. They reckon I'm dicing with life, It'll only bring me trouble and strife. She was shining out like a light in the night, By the harbour wall where we’d linger. The girl I’d left for the big and the bright, With another man’s ring on her finger. The man she married is a clown and a curse, A fearsome fighter and drinker. He runs around with other women and worse, Not a penny of wages he gives her. He’s out to get me ‘cos her husband he says, There’s parts of me I’ll be losing. I’m not a coward but I’d rather they stay, Down here where I know I can use them! Sad eyes have never stained a prettier face, I curse the day that I left her. But forbidden fruit is much better to taste And one day we’ll taste it together. 5 years late, but it's there for anyone in future. Transcribed from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVelWch-wog |
