To Rafferty's Bar in my old jaunting car   I took myself one Friday evening   To think on a son so deceiving   It's one drink down and another to go.      He was married in haste to a woman unchaste   Much to the shame of the father   His face still half-covered in lather   It's one drink down and another to go.      It's one drink down and another to go   When I pass through the town I must hang my head low   It's one drink down and another to go.      I'm not the kind to condemn out of hand   A woman whose virtue is easy   Just as long as she doesn't deceive me   It's one drink down and another to go.      Imagine a life with an unfaithful wife   Might wake up in the morning   And find that she's left without warning   It's one drink down and another to go.      It's one drink down and another to go   When I pass through the town I must hang my head low   It's one drink down and another to go.            Written By: Gerry Rafferty and John Patrick Byrne   Acoustic Guitars: Gerry Rafferty / Roger Brown   Bass: Gary Taylor   Drums: Henry Spinetti   Fiddle: John Van Derrick   Harpsichord: Tom Parker   Lead Vocals: Gerry Rafferty   Backing Vocals: Gerry Rafferty / Joe Egan
