I've seen street corner preachers spending' discharge pay Between periods of gettin' stiff And happy tipplers singing' songs of discontent With each and every passion' sip From the bookmaker's clerk on the rowdy racing' circuit Known as Tom Sharkey's brawling' bar To the tenders at the pubs through the illegal sporting clubs In this town, I call my home You see, I come from a family who more or less traditionally Sends it's boys off to serve Uncle Sam "Obey your orders and protect your country", said this father to his Disheartened son You see, I've traveled overseas, seen forks in the road from Raven to the Pubs near Cunard Pier But the things weren't the same, at the place where I became A man in this town, I call my home I'm goin' home I've seen street corner preachers, spending' discharge pay Between periods of gettin' stiff And happy tipplers singing' songs of discontent With each and every passion' sip From the bookmaker's clerk on the rowdy racing' circuit Known as Tom Sharkey's brawling' bar To the tenders at the pubs and illegal sporting clubs In this town I call my home To the tenders at the pubs and illegal sporting clubs In this town I call my home
