Bilingual
I walked in here off the dirty mile
Swaggered in with the prison style
Aching bones and dirty feet
Needing of a bed and something to eat
I played for you and I played it right
I've sang in tune and I've danced all night
I looked at you as the only one
I didn't know that it had come undone
Oh, and I hit the road when I was 15
When my mother died and my dad got mean
Been locked up since 21
And I was my mother's only son
Forgotten most through the early days
Then I remember what she used to say
Little boy you're my pride and joy
You're the only good thing about old Fitzroy
I feel the walls are falling down around
It makes me loathe that old town somehow
I've been drinking all the wrong things all night
Thinking about what I got to do to survive this life, hey
Ooh-ooh-ooh yeah
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh yeah
