Whores and Hounds Lyrics & Tabs by The Irish Rovers
Whores and Hounds
guitar chords lyrics
thougth this time, i'd stay in town
but now be damned, im outwards bound
me money it went, for whores and hounds
off to sea once more
you'd think by now i smarter be, and learnt from past discrepencies
but here am i, headed back to sea
Penniless, sick and soare
one
two
three
four
whores and hounds n' navy rum
they have me broke, they have me numb
a drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore
the lassies are my hearts delight, but i can't pay them every night
they have me broke, they have me numb
a drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore
the lassies are my hearts delight, but i can't pay them every night
and i must look a sorry sight when begging for it free
and at the greyhounds guzzling grog, i never picked a winning dog
a sailors life's a hard ol' slug whenever he's on a spree
for whores and hounds n' navy rum
they have me broke, they have me numb
a drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore
intermision
perhaps it's time to stop the strife, settle down and find a wife
but then again i love me life, what ever may insue
so i'll not fuss, and I'll not fret for i got life within me yet
i'll get drunk as i can get, thats what we sailors do
for whores and hounds n' navy rum
they have me broke, they have me numb
a drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore
for whores and hounds n' navy rum
they have me broke, they have me numb
a drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore
yes i thought this time i'd stay in town but once again i'm seaward bound
but i'll be back for whores and hounds, who keep talking out to me
when i return from sea
