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
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 Explain Request ×
