Well it's another rainy night, here in my hometown,   And the rain beats down on the stone surround   Of the prison grounds   Well you can raise a smile but lower your eyes   When you pass by   You'd surely understand if you were the man   Doing time      I guess it's fair to say I had more than my share that day And   you know, I've been told all prison bars are closed      Chorus:      So won't you raise your glass and get drunk   for me 'Cos I'm the fool who drank too much, you see.   So won't you set them up unselfishly Please raise your   glass to foolish me.      When I left the factory gate I was perfectly straight and sober But I   stopped for a short one which led to a long one and murder Well he   was six feet five, about twice my size, but I was crazy Because I heard   him say, my wife, in the day was no lady.      I guess it's fair to say   I had more than my share that day   And you know, I've been told all prison bars are closed      Chorus
