Flogging Molly

Well I?ve drunk to drown, on every ocean I?ve been

Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim

Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen?s land

Well I drank with the Sultan, down the Suez Canal



Cause Every Dog Has Its Day

Like every woman, she gets her own way

And if there?s a ship that sails tonight

I?ll captain that too, just to be there with you



Well there was old Jerry Rooney, who was mad as a mule

Spillblood Maloney had a head like one too

That night on the bridge, with my shovel in hand

Well he threatened to kill me, for sure he picked the wrong man



Cause Every Dog Has Its Day

Like every woman, she gets her own way

And if there?s a ship that sails tonight

I?ll captain that too, just to be there with you



Well there was mutiny in Lagos, aboard the mean ship Skondi

Ten or twelve days in prison, till the bastards set me free

McCloskey you?re free



Cause Every Dog Has Its Day

Like every woman, she gets her own way

And if there?s a ship that sails tonight

I?ll captain that too, just to be there with you



Now I love the sea and she wants me back

So I leave this ol? harbor, with the wind at my back

Goodbye mother Theresa, I hope the kids settle down

I must head for the Chinas, pray to God I don?t drown



For Every Dog Has Its Day

Like every woman, she gets her own way

And if there?s a ship that sails tonight

I?ll captain that too



Cause Every Dog Has Its Day

Like every woman, she gets her own way

And if there?s a ship that sails tonight

I?ll captain that too, just to be there with you
