By day I sell them my soul I work like a mole Under the shop By night I'll drink in the cold hole But down in the nine-foot drop
By day I'm a company mule The wage slaving fool They chain up like a dog By night I'll be sailing away On my stool On a river of grog A river of grog
Two drinks In my line of my sight But that can't be right I know it's untrue I'm seeing double tonight But there can only be one of you
I've loaded my pockets with stones To bury my bones In the mud of the bog So let me go sailing Away on my own On a river of grog A river of grog
If you miss me when I go It's been a barrel of fun I'm gonna miss you When I go But down in this bottle There's a song for me waiting I know
I've loaded my pockets with stones To bury my bones In the mud of the bog So let me go sailing Away on my own On a river of grog A river of grog River of grog
