Daddy was a dirty fighting man He walked tall with his money in his shoe With a left and a right And a sonny say goodnight Eyes were a cold steel blue Momma went down like a ton of coal Shared her bed with anyone who dared Wash your hands Take it like a man Never let em know your scared Never let em know your scared Oh, what shall we do with the drunken failure? Shanghai the bastard to Australia If we never see you again Buddy that'll be too soon Everybody knows that the odds ain't even Show me a god that's worth believing Better place your bets cause the boat is leaving Underneath an eastern moon Underneath an eastern moon Sissy had a thing for contraband Nose to the grindstone Finger in the pie No way out Give the kid a clout Drowned her in a pint of rye Brother was a drunken gambling man Rolled his dice and always played the fool Roll 'em high Sock 'em in the eye Beat him like a rented mule Beat him like a rented mule Oh, what shall we do with the drunken failure? Shanghai the bastard to Australia If we never see you again Buddy that'll be too soon Everybody knows that the odds ain't even Show me a god that's worth believing Better place your bets cause the boat is leaving Underneath an eastern moon Underneath an eastern moon
