charlie's last song

Singer:loudon wainwright iii

old charlie could drink you under the table

old charlie could sing all night long

old charlie had fun

but his rambling is done

and this is old charlie's last song

old charlie would fight

once he hit a policeman

they throwed him jail 'cause that's wrong

and when he broke out

the cops took him on home

and old charlie

he played them a song

old charlie could drink you under the table

old charlie could sing all night long

old charlie had fun

but his rambling is done

and this is old charlie's last song

old charlie made moonshine for the local bootleggers

charlie

he had him a still

and the money he made paid for a good banjo

you can't make that wage down at the mill

but his rambling is done."
