"Ol' Begger's Bush"
By: Flogging Molly
Intro:
//
VERSE 1:
Stuck on limbo bridge
Where below me ol' Nick grins
Then laughs through the chaos of it all
Gets up off his chair
Spins a jig to my despair
He can't wait to count the times where I went wrong
Underneath the bush
Lay a begger out of luck
On his lips was a taste he forgets
His hopes are filled with sand
That he watched fall through his hand
Every grain was a lifetime of regret
CHORUS:
So go and bow your head and weep
For your world won't change while you sleep
Yeah, go and bow your head and weep
For the summer that was lost, now is gone
Yeah, the summer that was lost, now is gone
VERSE 2:
Fertile Mrs. Moore
Had thirteen kids but still looked good
Til' her ol' man jumped leave on a ship
She never read a book
But by Christ she understood
That the meanin' of life starts in bed
Chorus
SOLO:
// (x2)
VERSE 3:
Killer Kilbain
Beat me senseless everyday
I hope that bastard is beneath a head of stone
Where I'll dance upon his grave
For all the madness I now crave
While the scars that remain are still a curse
Stuck on limbo bridge
Where below me ol' Nick grins
Then laughs through the chaos of it all
Gets up off his chair
Spins a jig to my despair
He can't wait to count the times where I went wrong
Yeah, he can't wait to count the times where I went wrong
LAST CHORUS:
So go and bow your head and weep
For your world won't change while you sleep
Yeah, go and bow your head and weep
For the summer that was lost, now is gone
For the summer that was lost, now is gone
For the summer that was lost, now is gone
For the summer that was lost, now is gone
