If I could've found a girl could drink as much as me
I take her off to be my wife and live so happily 
but I've never known such girl to walk upon this land
I guess it's heaven's plan for me to be a single man

D7Sing (xx0212@1)me my last rights!

I've drunk me fill of piss and swill too many times to care
And sometimes when I stagger home I pass out on the stair
I like my women slightly large, my Whisky always neat
And sometimes in the summer I like to pass out in the street
