Glasgow Lullaby - Eric Bogle
[G]Hush wee babby, for yer [C]daddy's comin' in
[D]Stumblin' up the stair and missin' every [G] yin
Rotten wi' beer and [C] stinkin' o' gin
[D]He's drunk again -- as [G]usual
|Chorus:
|[G]Oh my God, it's a [C] weary, weary life
|[D]Who wid be a [G] drinkin' man's wife
|Who wid thole a' this [C] trouble and this strife
|[D]Who but a silly [G]woman
[G]Hush wee babby, he's [C]comin' in the door
[D]Drunken big feet are [G]skitin' over the floor
He's had a bucket, but he's [C]thirstin' for more
[D]He disnae ken when he's [G]beaten
[G]Hush wee babby, listen [C]tae him sittin' there
[D]Wi his bloodshot eyes and his [G]tangled hair
Mooth fu' o' big talk and [C]eyes fu' o' despair
[D]And blaming me -- as [G]usual
Chorus:
[G]Hush wee babby, yer [C]daddy's gone tae bed
The [D]morn he'll no' remember a' [G]the things he said
But his tongue wis sharp and [C]a' the wounds they bled
[D]But then I'm used tae [G]bleedin'
[G]Hush wee babby and [C]close yer weary eyes
[D]Cuddle intae mammy and [G]stop yer tired wee cries
And in the mornin' when ye de[C]cide tae rise
[D]Yer mammy'll be here [G]waitin'
Chorus:
