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 men, 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 have 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 up 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 up 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.
