The Dirty Glass

Lyrics for The Dirty Glass

Murphy, Murphy, darling dear I long for you now, night and day Your pain was my pleasure, your sorrow my joy I fear now I've lost you to health and good cheer Darcy, when I met you I was five years too young A boy beyond his age or so I'd tell someone Anyone who'd listen and a few who couldn't care Still I welcomed you with open arms, my love I did share Darcy, Darcy, darlin dear You left me dying, crying there In whiskey, gin and pints of beer I fell for you, my darling dear You shut me off then you showed me the door But you always came crawlin back beggin me for more I showed you kindness a stool and a tab Then you poured me my pain in a dirty glass Yeah, you left him bloody, battered, penniless and poor You know I often stopped to wonder how he made through my door With my brothers new non-duplicate registry ID Well, you bit off more than you could chew the first day you met me Darcy, Darcy, darlin dear You left me dying, crying there In whiskey, gin and pints of beer I fell for you, my darling dear You weren't the first to court me, mister, you won't be the last Oh, I'm sure I wasn't, honey, I know all about your past Listen to the big shot with his pager on call You spent most of those nights in my bathroom stall Yeah, you got him high but you left him low Mind your own business, boy, how was I to know That he was just a fiend and a no good cheat Well, thats all in the past, bitch, 'cause now I got it beat Darcy, Darcy, darling dear You left me dying, crying there In whiskey, gin and pints of beer I fell for you, my darling dear Darcy, Darcy, darling dear You left me dying, crying there In whiskey, gin and pints of beer I fell for you, my darling dear
