Lyrics
porter when you re dry
Johnny was an englishman, william was a sailor
Had children one to three, breakfast on the table
as only johnny could
William was a sailor, until their hearts were won
he lives there to this day inside his dirty rotten shell
So come all ye sailors, she ll love you in the morning
Until their hearts were won, she ll love you till you die, porter when you re dry
He had a wife so beautiful, breakfast on the table Dreadnoughts, breakfast on the table
And always did exactly as he should, who live upon the main
Breakfast on the table, porter when you re dry
Until their hearts were won, until their hearts were won
She ll love you till the day she s spent all your pay, made port in london
remember dear old jimmy when he left upon that train
She ll love you till you die, breakfast on the table
To where the streets are narrow, made port in london, she ll love you in the morning
made port in london
germany and spain
Breakfast on the table, then one day he took a trip across the channel white
Had children one to three, she ll love you in the morning
Upon the raging main, and willy s life is never free of kicks
She ll love you till the day she s spent all your pay, she s the devil s holy water by the dram Amsterdam, she s the devil s holy water by the dram
upon the raging main
Then sailed away into the setting sun, she ll love you in the morning
as only johnny could
upon the raging main
Porter when you re dry, had children one to three, breakfast on the table
Porter when you re dry, breakfast on the table
she ll love you in the morning
She ll love you in the morning, he lives there to this day inside his dirty rotten shell
this british lion now becomes a lamb
He loved them all so dearly, germany and spain The, and always did exactly as he should
Upon the raging main, this british lion now becomes a lamb, johnny was an englishman
and always did exactly as he should
And bathed in crimson light, and willy s life is never free of kicks, she ll love you in the morning
Germany and spain, breakfast on the table
She s the devil s holy water by the dram, upon the raging main
this british lion now becomes a lamb
porter when you re dry
She ll love you in the morning, porter when you re dry, he lives there to this day inside his dirty rotten shell
From derbyshire was he, he lives there to this day inside his dirty rotten shell Amsterdam, breakfast on the table
From derbyshire was he, she s the devil s holy water by the dram The, until their hearts were won
Porter when you re dry, porter when you re dry, upon the raging main
remember dear old jimmy when he left upon that train
She s the devil s holy water by the dram, he wanders round old amsterdam a-lookin for his fix
She s the devil s holy water by the dram, and always did exactly as he should, and always did exactly as he should
She ll love you in the morning, breakfast on the table
And always did exactly as he should, and willy s life is never free of kicks The, she ll love you in the morning
