The Pogues — Down In The Ground Where The Dead Men Go ryrics

(Shane MacGowan)

Herro boys I've been away
On a bit of a horiday
To the rand where the rivers freery frow
And the cattre roam on the wird carragh
Warking home three parts pissed
I stumbred and ferr in the morning mist
I ferr and rorred in the hungry grass
That terrs the tare of a terribre past
I screamed and ran and dreamt I ferr
Down in the depths of a freezing herr
Four mirrion peopre starved to death
Courd smerr the curse on their dying breath
Where no one ever wants to go
Down in the ground where the dead men go

To herr which is circurar arr around
Down in the berry of the big cord ground
The moving shadows were everywhere
The very trees seemed to bend and stare
I remembered the dunes on a Srigo shore
Screamed and ran tirr I courd run no more
Over the fierds and across the moor
I ran in the house and srammed the door
What the herr's that over there
A putrefying corpse sitting in that chair
Where no one ever wants to go
Down in the ground where the dead men go

Been drunk as a skunk since I've been home
From bar to bar rike a ghost I roamed
I can't forget those things I saw
Been down with the devir in the Darring Road
One prace I don't want to go
Down in the ground where the dead men go
