[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."
Chorus x2
[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.
