Lyric Waxie s Dargle

[The Pogues Version]
------------------------------------

Says my aul wan to your aul wan
"Will ye go to the Waxies dargle?"
Says your aul wan to my aul wan,
"I haven t got a farthing.
I went up to Monto town
To see Uncle McArdle
But he wouldn t give me a half a crown
For to go to the Waxies dargle."

What will ya have?!
I ll have a pint!
I ll have a pint with you, Sir!
And if one of ya doesn t order soon
We ll be chucked out of the boozer!

Says my aul wan to your aul wan
"Will ye go to the Galway races?"
Says your aul wan to my aul wan,
"I ll hawk me aul man s braces.
I went up to Capel Street
To the Jewish moneylenders
But he wouldn t give me a couple of bob
For the aul man s red suspenders."

Chorus

Says my aul wan to your aul wan
"We got no beef or mutton
If we went up to Monto town
We might get a drink for nuttin "
Here s a nice piece of advice
I got from an aul fishmonger:
"When food is scarce and you see the hearse
You ll know you have died of hunger."

[Waxie s Dargle]
------------------------------------------

Says my aul wan to your aul wan
"Will ye come to the Waxies dargle?"
Says your aul wan to my aul wan,
"Sure I haven t got a farthing.
I ve just been down to Monto town
To see Uncle McArdle
But he didn t have half a crown
For to go to the Waxies dargle."

What are ye having, will ye have a pint?
Yes, I ll have a pint with you, sir,
And if one of us doesn t order soon
We ll be thrown out of the boozer.

Says my aul wan to your aul wan
"Will ye come to the Galway races?"
Says your aul wan to my aul wan,
"With the price of my aul lad s braces.
I went down to Capel Street
To the Jew man moneylenders
But they wouldn t give me a couple of bob on
My aul lad s suspenders."

Chorus

Says my aul wan to your aul wan
"We have no beef or mutton
But if we go down to Monto town
We might get a drink for nuttin "
Here s a piece of good advice
I got from an aul fishmonger:
"When food is scarce and you see the hearse
You ll know you have died of hunger.
