One Drink Down — текст песни (Gerry Rafferty)

To Rafferty`s Bar in my old jaunting car
I took myself one Friday evening
To think on a son so deceiving
It`s one drink down and another to go.

He was married in haste to a woman unchaste
Much to the shame of the father
His face still half-covered in lather
It`s one drink down and another to go.

It`s one drink down and another to go
When I pass through the town I must hang my head low
It`s one drink down and another to go.

I`m not the kind to condemn out of hand
A woman whose virtue is easy
Just as long as she doesn`t deceive me
It`s one drink down and another to go.

Imagine a life with an unfaithful wife
Might wake up in the morning
And find that she`s left without warning
It`s one drink down and another to go.

It`s one drink down and another to go
When I pass through the town I must hang my head low
It`s one drink down and another to go.
