(The Pogues' Version)------------------------------------
Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan"Will ye go to the Waxies dargle?"Says your aul' wan to my aul' wan,"I haven't got a farthing.I went up to Monto townTo see Uncle McArdleBut he wouldn't give me a half a crownFor to go to the Waxies dargle."
What will ya have?!I'll have a pint!I'll have a pint with you, Sir!And if one of ya' doesn't order soonWe'll be chucked out of the boozer!
Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan"Will ye go to the Galway races?"Says your aul' wan to my aul' wan,"I'll hawk me aul' man's braces.I went up to Capel StreetTo the Jewish moneylendersBut he wouldn't give me a couple of bobFor the aul' man's red suspenders."
Chorus
Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan"We got no beef or muttonIf we went up to Monto townWe might get a drink for nuttin'"Here's a nice piece of adviceI got from an aul' fishmonger:"When food is scarce and you see the hearseYou'll know you have died of hunger."
Chorus x2
(Waxie's Dargle)------------------------------------------
Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan"Will ye come to the Waxies dargle?"Says your aul' wan to my aul' wan,"Sure I haven't got a farthing.I've just been down to Monto townTo see Uncle McArdleBut he didn't have half a crownFor to go to the Waxies dargle."
What are ye having, will ye have a pint?Yes, I'll have a pint with you, sir,And if one of us doesn't order soonWe'll be thrown out of the boozer.
Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan"Will ye come to the Galway races?"Says your aul' wan to my aul' wan,"With the price of my aul' lad's braces.I went down to Capel StreetTo the Jew man moneylendersBut they wouldn't give me a couple of bob onMy aul' lad's suspenders."
Chorus
Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan"We have no beef or muttonBut if we go down to Monto townWe might get a drink for nuttin'"Here's a piece of good adviceI got from an aul' fishmonger:"When food is scarce and you see the hearseYou'll know you have died of hunger.
