Verse 1
On the first day of march it was raining
It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen
I drank ten pints of beer and I cursed all the people there
And I wish that all this raining would stop falling down on me
Chorus
And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother wake me early in the morning
Verse 2
At the time I was working for a landlord
And he was the meanest bastard that you have ever seen
And to lose a single penny would grieve him awful sore
And he was a miserable bollocks and a bitch's bastard's whore
Chorus
And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother wake me early in the morning
Verse 3
I recall that we took care of him one Sunday
We got him out the back and we broke his fucking balls
And maybe that was dreaming and maybe that was real
But all I know is I left the place without a penny or fuck all
Chorus
And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother wake me early in the morning
Verse 4
But now I've the most charming of verandahs
I sit and watch the junkies, the drunks and pimps and whores
Five green bottles are sitting on the floor
I wish to Christ, I wish to Christ that I had fifteen more
Chorus
And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother wake me early in the morning
(Repeat Banjo part)

Chorus
And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother wake me early in the morning
Verse 5
The boys and me are drunk and looking for you
We'll eat your frigging entrails and we won't give a damn
Me daddy was a blueshirt and my mother a madam
My brother earned his medals at Mỹ Lai in Vietnam
Chorus
And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother wake me early in the morning
Verse 6
On the first day of march it was raining
It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen
Stay on the other side of the road 'cause you can never tell
We've a thirst like a gang of devils we're the boys from the county hell
Chorus
And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother wake me early in the morning
And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink
And mother wake me early in the morning
