When Friday comes around 
We're only into fighting
Ma would like a letter home 
But I'm too tired for writing

Chorus

It almost breaks my heart 
When I think of Josephine
I told her I'd be coming home 
With my pockets full of green

Chorus

The only time I feel alright 
Is when I'm into drinking
It will sort of ease the pain 
And level out my thinking

Chorus

I sometimes hear a piper playing 
Maybe it's a notion
I dream I see white horses dancing 
Upon that other ocean

Chorus
