All for Me Grog - Drops of Green

Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog, It's all for me beer and tobacco. For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin, Far across the western ocean I must wander. Where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots, They're all gone for beer and tobacco. For the heels they are worn out and the toes are kicked about And the soles are looking out for better weather. Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog, It's all for me beer and tobacco. For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin, Far across the western ocean I must wander. Where is me shirt, me noggin', noggin' shirt, It's all gone for beer and tobacco, For the collar is all worn, and the sleeves they are all torn, And the tail is looking out for better weather. Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog, It's all for me beer and tobacco. For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin, Far across the western ocean I must wander. I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed, Since first I came ashore from me slumber, For I spent all me dough on the lassies don't you know, Far across the western ocean I must wander. Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog, It's all for me beer and tobacco. For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin, Far across the western ocean I must wander.

Summer nights in July, it was only you and I We were driving in the fast lane Couldn't make up my mind as we were running out of time Now I pay the price of my mistakes You're standing in my T-shirt with somebody new Laugh a little harder 'cause you've seen that I'm here too You act like I'm a stranger, strangest thing to do When ain't nobody knows you like I do Now the waves come crashin' in And it all comes back again And it's hard to face it That love and that laugh You said it was all for me Yeah, it all comes back again And I can't erase it That love and that laugh You said it was all for me The way you speakin', that smile, all these things I recognize How I wish I saw you through his eyes If I knew what I'd lose, I would still be next to you But I was caught up in my own lies You're standing in my T-shirt with somebody new Laugh a little harder 'cause you've seen that I'm here too You act like I'm a stranger, strangest thing to do When ain't nobody knows you like I do Now the waves come crashin' in And it all comes back again And it's hard to face it That love and that laugh You said it was all for me Yeah, it all comes back again And I can't erase it That love and that laugh You said it was all for me (Mmm, mmm-mm) That love and that laugh, you Said it was all for me (Mmm, mmm-mm) That love and that laugh You said it was all for me Give us a million tries We'll never get it right Still, you're the one that I Can't get out of my mind Give us a million tries We'll never get it right Still, you're the one that I Can't get out of my mind That love and that laugh and that kiss you gave him You said it was all for me Yeah, it all comes back again And I can't erase it That love and that laugh You said it was all for me (Mmm) It all comes back again (Mmm-mm) And it's hard to face it That love and that laugh You said it was all for me (Mmm) Yeah, it all comes back again (Mmm-mm) And I can't erase it That love and that laugh You said it was all for me

The old home town looks the same As I step down from the train, And there to meet me is my Mama and Papa. Down the road I look and there runs Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherries. It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly. It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. The old house is still standing tho' the paint is cracked and dry, And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on. Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, Hair of gold and lips like cherries. It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. Then I awake and look around me, At four grey walls that surround me And I realize, yes, I was only dreaming. For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre, Arm in arm, we'll walk at daybreak. Again I touch the green, green grass of home. Yes, they'll all come to see me In the shade of that old oak tree As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home.
