• The Drunkard's Prayer

I woke up in the street, and all the birds were singing
Tur-a-lur-a-lur-a-laddie tur-a-lur-a-lur-a-lie
I wished that I could fly, so I could be there with them
Tur-a-lur-a-lur-a-laddie tur-a-lur-a-lur-a-lie

I've roamed around the world, and I've seen many wonders
Tur-a-lur...
I've eaten like a king, while children died of hunger
Tur-a-lur...

So angels up in heaven won't you hear the drunkard's prayer
That I may sleep the night without a worry or a care
I only booze to numb this hateful world of sorrow
So I pray that I won't need a drink tomorrow

I've drank in many bars, with profligates and misers
Tur-a-lur...
And I keep getting older but never any wiser
Tur-a-lur...

I've had many friends, and all of them were strangers
Tur-a-lur...
And I've slept in the mud like Jesus in the manger
Tur-a-lur...

So angels up in heaven...

Well God made water, hops, and barley
And the ruby grapes that grow upon the vine
If there is sin in drinking, joy, and laughter
Then why did he turn water into wine?

I had an awful dream, I was naked in the garden
Tur-a-lur...
The air was warm and gold, and all my sins were pardoned
Tur-a-lur...

Then I woke up in the street, and all the birds were singing
Tur-a-lur...
So I found the nearest bar while the church bells all were ringing
Tur-a-lur...

So angels up in heaven
