Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Here I Am amongst Ye (Holmes/Graham)
Subject: Lyr Add: HERE I AM AMONGST YOU
HERE I AM AMONGST YOU

Here I am amongst you,
and I'm here because I'm here.
And I'm only nine months older
than I was this time last year-I-yaa

Chorus: wipme-do-ri-ya wipme-do-ri-ya
       wipme-do-ri-you-ri-yay
       ram-be-dam-diddle-do-ri-ya
       wipme-do-ri-you-ri-yay      

Early to bed makes a man wise,
now this I don't think true.
How in the hell can a man go to bed
if he has none to go to-ri-ya

Chorus.

The more a man has, the more a man wants,
now this I don't think true.
I never met a man with one black eye,
who wish that he had two-ri-ya

Chorus.

Never throw a brick to a drowning man,
if you're close to a grocer's store.
Throw him a bar of sunlight soap,
let him wash himself ashore-i-ya

Chorus.

Now I think I said enough, and I say no more,
before you show me the door.
I'll take my bow, and I'll leave you now
and I won't come back any more-i-ya

Chorus.
