TAKE ME OUT DRINKING TONIGHT (Michael Marra)
When these shoes were new it was "How do you do" It was whisky and telling our tales And when my shirt was clean , I was there to be seen I had clean eyes and my smile never failed
And all of my brothers that I met on the way, They were drinking by night and they were drinking by day Ah restore to my eyes what was clear and was bright And Honey take me out drinking tonight, Honey take me out drinking tonight
Bluebells and matches and stains on the table The sweet smell of the luscious Woodbine. "Ah Mister McEwen you will be my ruin" I say, but I don't really mind
And all of my brothers that I met on the way They were drinking by night and they were drinking by day Ah restore to my eyes what was clear and was bright And Honey take me out drinking tonight, Honey take me out drinking tonight
Oh I'm still smiling through, though there's stains on my shoes The right is heavy and the left it is light And if it's left up to you then I know what you'd do Honey take me out drinking tonight Honey take me out drinking tonight
