Текст песни: My Last Night in Baltimore + перевод

We were fresh from the sea,

Our pockets full of money

When me and me mateys

We headed for the bar

No sooner had we 'rrived

Than one pint turned to five

And a lassie grabbed me by the belt

And dragged me toward the stairs!

Oh, Mother, don’t wake me,

Don’t jostle or shake me I spent all night drinkin'

With the ladies by the shore.

And if I never wake,

Don’t cry and don’t shriek,

Just sing the glorious tales of my last night in Baltimore!

There were redheads, there were blondes

Brunettes of which I’m fond.

We plied 'em with cheap alcohol

so they wouldn’t leave our side.

Before the night was through,

We each had one or two.

By midnight our cabin boy

Had found himself a bride!

We drank fifteen kegs of beer,

Whiskeys from far and near.

We ate up all their venison,

We choked down all their stew.

And when we were run dry,

We would not just stand by A raiding party went next door

To liberate more brew!

Things started to go queer

When Pat stole Kelly’s beer

So he put his face into Pat’s face

And started up a fight

Well, the brawl raged all around

And we tore that tavern down,

But we rescued all the kegs

So we could drink another night!

Now me head is sore and achey

And me bones are bruised and creaky,

And I don’t truly expect that I Should live to see the light,

So tell me girl in Leicester,

'Till she dies I’ll miss her,

But in the mornin', if I’m livin',

I’ll be back tomorrow night!
