Here's to you, I sing for my daddy-o   As I lay him down to sleep   It's been so long since I lost my daddy-o   Hope he's watchin' over me      Wednesday night is mornin' now   As I'm walkin' in the rain   The birds are screaming in my ear   Drivin' me insane      Half the clouds are empty   So the sun burst through the sky   The puddles show reflection   Of a face about to die      Just around the corner   I was goin' round the bend   I ran into a staggerin' fool   Who said he knew my name      He poured himself a whiskey   And his face began to glow   Two men without an answer   Like a dog without a bone      Bringin' in the new year   As the bells began to ring   Fats is in the corner   She's just about to sing      Time to get another before the final shout   You should have heard them roarin'   When they dragged the bugger out   And we'll never see the likes of you again      Jimbo came from slummin' town   A cold and dreary place   To summer land he found himself   The sun shun on his face      Met a girl called, Minnie Pearl   Swore she'd always be his girl   Happy ever after   Till the tide ran out again      Pour me all your sorrows   And I'll drink till you are dry   I'll love you in the mornin'   Christ, I'll love ya till you die      I'll never leave so never grieve   I'll be back before ya know   But Jimbo fell into a well   And never rambled home      Carried all his troubles in an unforgivin' bag   Back and forth through painted brick      The colors all seemed bland   I've traveled all these years, he said   To only get this far, so he crossed the street   Found a seat, his home is now a bar      And we'll never see   The likes of you again      There must be more to life   Than this poxie life, all the agro   All the pain so he disappeared   Into his final beer but the glass was empty   Once again, again, again      Woke up in an awful state   Dreamt I was at Peter's Gate   Beggin' for his mercy   And the crimes that were at hand      He told me he was much amused   To see this life I had abused   Best be on your way   But have a swig before you go      So I'm bringing in the New Year   As the bells began to ring   Fat's in the corner   She's just about to sing      Time to get another before the final shout   You should have heard them roarin'   When they dragged the bugger out      And we'll never see   The likes of you again
