Happy ever after
As the bells began to ring
Just around the corner
But Jimbo fell into a well
Fat's in the corner
As I'm walkin' in the rain
To see this life I had abused
Once again, again, again
Hope he's watchin' over me
She's just about to sing
Till the tide ran out again
Like a dog without a bone
Met a girl called, Minnie Pearl
Half the clouds are empty
Jimbo came from slummin' town
But have a swig before you go
Carried all his troubles in an unforgivin' bag
Dreamt I was at Peter's Gate
To only get this far, so he crossed the street
Fats is in the corner
I've traveled all these years, he said
Best be on your way
As the bells began to ring
And we'll never see the likes of you again
You should have heard them roarin'
Found a seat, his home is now a bar
Time to get another before the final shout
And I'll drink till you are dry
Wednesday night is mornin' now
Time to get another before the final shout
Drivin' me insane
He told me he was much amused
Into his final beer but the glass was empty
A cold and dreary place
Than this poxie life, all the agro
Back and forth through painted brick
I ran into a staggerin' fool
Bringin' in the new year
When they dragged the bugger out
Pour me all your sorrows
She's just about to sing
I'll never leave so never grieve
I'll be back before ya know
And we'll never see
The colors all seemed bland
You should have heard them roarin'
The likes of you again
He poured himself a whiskey
Beggin' for his mercy
It's been so long since I lost my daddy-o
The birds are screaming in my ear
And his face began to glow
To summer land he found himself
Two men without an answer
I'll love you in the mornin'
And we'll never see
The sun shun on his face
And the crimes that were at hand
So the sun burst through the sky
I was goin' round the bend
Christ, I'll love ya till you die
There must be more to life
So I'm bringing in the New Year
Woke up in an awful state
And never rambled home
Of a face about to die
When they dragged the bugger out
The puddles show reflection
Who said he knew my name
All the pain so he disappeared
Swore she'd always be his girl
