Peggy Lettermore
I was walking down the
backstreets
Just in case of breaking
time
All I carried was a
bottle
Of some Russian stuff
with lime
Corner-crash Christ an
angel
Kind of non-earth
Christian eyes
Like the famous snake
tricked Adam
I swallowed all your
lies
Oh sweet Peggy
You treated me like a
whore
You are definitely no
angel
Mrs. Peggy Lettermore
Took a seat down at the
staircase
We shared names like
people use
You gave my lips a hello
kiss
And I shared you my
booze
We kissed and consumed
the liquor
Night turned dark and
cold like hell
I said if you want my
company
We can move for my hotel
Hand in hand inside the
doorway
Where we went in to the
bar
An old drunk played his
mandolin
And his father the
guitar
She said honey give me
shelter
I can't stand those
playing wracks
If you do this evening
free
My hand to God, I'll pay
you back
It was early in the 4.th
round
The alcohol attacked
And the last thing I
remember
She was dancing on my
back
I screamed "this kind of
love's forever
She said perfect for a
change
Such a corner-crash in
Galway
We can never rearrange
