Jakey's Gin

Great Big Sea

When I was a young man I was let astray I met with a body down in Logy Bay We went out in a weather We wore out our shoes, And up Kingsway road for a drink or two [Chorus] Drink 'er up boys its well after ten Drink 'er up boys its well after ten. [Repeat] Some people say that the pinky is fine Others will swear by a drop of moonshine But as for myself I'm a bottle of each, Mixed in with a gallon of dipper or screech [Chorus] Its the old shavin' lotion that's made me this way Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea And when in the evening when we're feeling fine We'll stop into Jakey's for icon and shine [Chorus] Its the old shavin' lotion that's made me this way Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea And when in the morning when I'm feeling rough I curse, ol' Jakey who sold me this stuff [Chorus:Repeat x2] --- Jakey's Gin - Great Big Sea
