Gerry Rafferty - One Drink Down lyrics



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.
