Ah, tom is young and tom is bold   Tom is as bold as the knights of old   But whenever he gets in a bit of a jam   There's nothing he won't do to get a harry rag      Harry rag, harry rag   Do anything just to get a harry rag   And he curses himself for the life he's led   And rolls himself a harry rag and puts himself to bed      Ah, tom's old ma is a dying lass   Soon they all reckon she'll be pushing up the grass   And her bones might ache and her skin might sag   But still she's got the strength to have a harry rag      Harry rag, harry rag   Do anything just to get a harry rag   And she curses herself for the life she's led   And rolls herself a harry rag and puts herself to bed      Ah, bless you tax man, bless you all   You may take some but you never take it all   But if I give it all, I won't feel sad   As long as I got enough to buy a harry rag      Harry rag, harry rag   Do anything just to get a harry rag   And I curse myself for the life I've led   And roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed      Ah, the smart young ladies of the land   Can't relax without a harry in their hand   And they light one and they boast and brag   So content because they got a harry rag      Harry rag, harry rag   Do anything just to get a harry rag   And they'll light one and they'll boast and brag   So content because they got a harry rag      Harry rag, harry rag   I'll do anything just to get a harry rag   And I curse myself for the life I've led   And roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed
