SAVE YOUR MONEY WHILE YOU'RE YOUNG Come all you jolly good fellows, I'll sing to you a song It's all about them shanteyboys and it won't take me long For it's now that I regret the day, while I'm working out in the cold Save your money when you're young, me boys, you'll need it when you're old For once I was a shantey boy, now wasn't I a lad? And the way I spent me money, now wasn't it too bad? But it's now that I regret the day, while I'm working out in the cold Save your money when you're young, me boys, you'll need it when you're old And if you are a married man, I'll tell you what to do Just be good to you're wife and family, as you have sworn to do Stay away from all grog shops where liquor is bought and sold Save your money when you're young, me boys, you'll need it when you're old And if you are a single man, I'll tell you what to do Just find yourself some pretty young girl that to you will prove true Just find yourself some pretty girl that is not over bold That will stick to you through life and be a comfort when you're old For once I was a shanty boy, now wasn't I a lad? And the way I spent me money, now wasn't it too bad? But it's now that I regret the day, while I'm working out in the cold Save your money when you're young, me boys, you'll need it when you're old @drink @aging Recorded by Margaret Christl filename[ SAVEMONY SOF |
