Harry Rag

Oh, Tom is young and tom is bold

Tom is as Bold as a night of old

But whenever he gets in a bit of a jam

There's nothing we won't do to get a harry rag



Harry rag, harry rag

Do anything just to get a harry rag

And he curses himself for the life he's lead

Then he rolls himself a harry rag and puts himself to bed.



Oh, tom's old mum is a dying lass

Soon they recon she'll be pushing up the grass

And he bones might break and her skin might sag

But she's still got enough strength to have a harry rag



Harry rag, harry rag

Do anything just to get a harry rag

And she curses himself for the life he's lead

Then she rolls herself a harry rag and puts herself to bed.



Oh, bless your taxman bless his soul

He may take some, but will never take it all

If I give it all, I won't feel sad

As long as I have enough to buy a harry rag



Harry rag, harry rag

Do anything just to get a harry rag

And I curse myself for the life I've lead

Then I roll myself a harry rag and puts myself to bed.



Oh, the smart young ladies of the land

Country lasses without a harry in their hand

Then they light one up and boast and brag

So content they got a harry rag



Harry rag, harry rag

Do anything just to get a harry rag

Then they light one up and boast and brag

So content they got a harry rag



Hey, harry rag, harry rag,

I'll do anything just to get a harry rag

And I curse myself for the life I've lead

Then I roll myself a harry rag and puts myself to bed
