But when yer oot walking, in the country wi’ a bird An yer strolling over fields just like a fairmer’s herd. And somebody shouts "Keep aff the grass," and you think “How absurd;” And _squelch!_ you find why fairmers a’ wear wellies. If it wasnae for your wellies, where would you be? You’d be in the hospital or infirmary, Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy, If you didnae have your feet in your wellies! ---

I went down to St. James Infirmary And I heard my baby moan. And I felt so broken hearted. She used to be my very own. I tried so hard to keep from crying. My heart felt just like lead. She was all that I had to live for. Oh, I wish it was me instead. Now she’s gone, she’s gone and may God bless her Wherever she may be. She can search this wide world over Oh, but she’ll never find a man like me. She’s gone, she’s gone… She’s gone. ---

Tina says, “Don’t talk to me like I am deaf and dumb We’ve broken down and broken up so much that I am numb Talk about, don’t shout about the people we’ve become There’s a little girl who’s crying over here” Michael says, “Don’t shout at me like I was born a fool You speak of love and scream of love now dare to treat me cruel Nothing’s fair in love and war so please, let’s make some rules There’s a little boy who’s crying over here” Did you ever know me?

If you see me passin’ by and you sit and wonder why, And you wish that you were a rambler too, Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor, lace 'em up and bar the door, And thank the stars for the roof that’s over you.
