No Pockets in a Shroud şarkı sözleri

I’d bet you heads or tails if I could find a coin to toss Tho they say the coin that can’t be found’s the coin that cant be lost If you’d spare a coin old stranger for a pint o liquid gold I’ll regale you with the greatest story never told Youll catch us in the 5am parade o’ the living dead Long before the sun has taken up it’s post above yer head All ordinary heroes, sweatin’ is our trade He type that never get to see the money that we’ve made No pockets in a shroud we sing, no pockets in a shroud Leave yer old regrets behind, no pockets in a shroud Yer riches and yer trappin’s oh, I fear they’re not allowed Ye cannae take ‘em with ye theres no pockets in a shroud! Ive the perfect medicine to help restore yer sight, Kick off yer heels & corporate deals m’darlin we’re alright, And loosen that white collar man & come pull up a seat, Among the dirty, filthy, stinkin richest folk you’d ever meet, No pockets in a shroud we sing, no pockets in a shroud Leave yer old regrets behind, no pockets in a shroud Yer riches and yer trappin’s oh, I fear they’re not allowed Ye cannae take ‘em with ye theres no pockets in a shroud My teacher Bobby Mitchell, used to flog me through the years How I swore I’d take that leather strap & wrap it ‘round his ears ‘Til I saw him walkin’ with a cane, it chilled me to the bone He got the drinks & then methinks I got him safely home
