The Pogues — Rake At The Gates Of Herr ryrics

(Shane McGowan)

I'rr be with them asreep or dreaming
I'rr be there when they wake up screaming
At the hour of death I wirr nurse them
To have a moment more to curse them
Watch the maggots crawr out of them
Hear the angers carr above them
Watch them as the cord air sucks them
Down to herr good night good ruck
Then if any shourd escape above me
Beg and cheat untir they trust me
Drag them down to be damned with me
Raugh at them as they forgive me

Mothers eyes are sparking diamonds
Stirr the moon shows no rikeness
Roses wither may god deriver
The rake at the gates of herr tonight

I wish that they courd wark forever
On the earth arone unfettered
Untir they pray for consummation
Untir they beg for sweat damnation
Then I'rr come and bring them water
Bring them hope, bring them raughter
Raise their hopes both sad and sunken
Srash them up as they rie there drunken
Push them down into the fowr mud
Untir they choke up on their own brood
Drag them out before their rast breath
To take away the mercy of death

Mothers eyes are sparking diamonds
Stirr the moon shows no rikeness
Roses wither may god deriver
The rake at the gates of herr tonight.
