Thread Name: Lyr Req: Glasgow/Scottish drinking songs
Subject: Lyr Add: DRUNK WILLIE
??? I typed out the whole song (Drunk Willie) last night, now I see only one verse (v.1) and no chorus appears on the forum - not sure what i did wrong? - Is there a 'character numbers' limit?
Second attempt:
ch.   
Oh ye're nuthin' but a drunkard was her war cry every night
Yer breath smells like a brewery, Christ ye look a bluidy sight!
An' Ah want divorce fer cruelty as she thumps him on the chin
Cos ye needna think Ah'm standing here till you come stumblin' in

2 On Monday night she hit him wi' a poker
On Tuesday night she nearly knocked him sober
Friday night she's at him wance again
But on Saturday held back tae let him mend
But Wullie's dies fae blows an' kidney trouble
Noo the police they wheeched his wife aff at the double
Doon in the pub tha landlord said a prayer
An' a' his boozin' pals sit drinking roon' his chair
ch.
3 The trial judge sent Wullie's wife tae prison
As they read her oot the sentence she was fizzin'
Dragged screamin' tae the cells her face chalk white
Sayin' the bugger's done this tae me jist fer spite
But Wullie's at the pearly gates o' heaven
He's timed it weel it's jis five past eleven
Up there he's jis as happy as can be
Fer a' the beer an' whisky there he gets is free
ch.
