harry rag

ah

tom is young and tom is bold

tom is as bold as the knights of old

but whenever he gets in a bit of a jam

there's nothing he 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 led

and rolls himself a harry rag and puts himself to bed

ah

tom's old ma is a dying lass

soon they all reckon she'll be pushing up the grass

and her bones might ache and her skin might sag

but still she's got the strength to have a harry rag

harry rag

harry rag

do anything just to get a harry rag

and she curses herself for the life she's led

and rolls herself a harry rag and puts herself to bed

ah

bless you tax man

bless you all

you may take some but you never take it all

but if i give it all

i won't feel sad

as long as i got 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 led

and roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed

ah

the smart young ladies of the land

can't relax without a harry in their hand

and they light one and they boast and brag

so content because they got a harry rag

harry rag

harry rag

do anything just to get a harry rag

and they'll light one and they'll boast and brag

so content because they got a harry rag

harry rag

harry rag

i'll do anything just to get a harry rag

and i curse myself for the life i've led

and roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed
