Last Cnight as I slept I Fdreamed I met with CBehan
I shook him by the hand and we Fpassed the time of Gday
When Cquestioned on his views on the Fcrux of life's Cphilosophies
He Chad but these few Fclear and Gsimple words to Csay
I am going, I am going, Any which way the wind may be blowing
I am going, I am going, Where streams of whiskey are flowing
I have cursed, bled and sworn, Jumped bail and landed up in jail
Life has often tried to stretch me, but the rope always was slack
And now that I've a pile, I'll go down to the Chelsea
I'll walk in on my feet, but I'll leave there on my back

Oh the words that he spoke, seemed the wisest of philosophies
There's nothing ever gained by a wet thing called a tear
When the world is too dark and I need the light inside of me
I'll walk into a bar and drink fifteen pints of beer
