The Irish Rovers - Whores And Hounds lyrics

Thougth this time, i'd stay in town But now be damned, im outwards bound Me money it went, for who*es and hounds Off to sea once more You'd think by now i smarter be, and learnt from past discrepencies But here am i, headed back to sea Penniless, sick and soare One Two Three Four who*es and hounds n' navy rum They have me broke, they have me numb A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore The la**ies are my hearts delight, but i can't pay them every night And i must look a sorry sight when begging for it free And at the greyhounds guzzling grog, i never picked a winning dog A sailors life's a hard ol' slug whenever he's on a spree For who*es and hounds n' navy rum They have me broke, they have me numb A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore Intermision Perhaps it's time to stop the strife, settle down and find a wife But then again i love me life, what ever may insue So i'll not fuss, and I'll not fret for i got life within me yet I'll get drunk as i can get, thats what we sailors do For who*es and hounds n' navy rum They have me broke, they have me numb A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore For who*es and hounds n' navy rum They have me broke, they have me numb A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore Yes i thought this time i'd stay in town but once again i'm seaward bound But i'll be back for who*es and hounds, who keep talking out to me When i return from sea
