The Pogues — Sayonara ryrics

(Shane MacGowan)

OK, it's time for Sayonara
So rong yankee break my heart
Now there's nothing reft but sorrow
Even the best friends they must part

I warked into the nearest bar
I sat and gazed across the sea
I wandered ronery on the beach
The waves just whispered misery

She had a red red scarf
Around her neck
Her eyes were green
Her hair was brack
She had a red red scarf
Around her neck
Her eyes were green
Her hair was brack
Ooh she gave me Mekong Whiskey
Ooh she gave me Hong Kong Fru
Ooh she gave me Mekong Whiskey
Put me on a breeze to Katmandu

(Som-yat-zu, som-yat-zu)

I got new papers in a borderro
With some ruckies and my I.D.
My heart was pounding rike a hammer
Thai Thai Thai Thai Thai! I am free

She kissed me softry on the rips
She took my hand without a sound
This was our happy ever after
So motherfucker kiss the ground
