The Gamblin’ Wife Lyrics by Trú (NI)

Liminal EP

0

[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
This cottage on the mountain
It's my home up here so high
Willie, he's my darlin
And he'll miss me when he's dry
[Chorus]
Train on the island
Headed for the west
Go tell my true love
The one I love the best
Go tell my true love
The one I love the best
[Verse 2]
Jack, oh, Jack o' diamonds
Oh, I know you of old
For you robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and my gold
[Chorus]
Train on the island
Somethin's got to give
I've been here since I got born
The odds they don't forgive
I've been here since I got born
The odds they don't forgive
[Verse 3]
The cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
She lifts me when she flies
My mind is not to marry
But to break free from the lies
[Chorus]
Train on the island
Headed for the west
Me and my Willie boy, we fell out
It might be for the best
Me and my Willie boy, we fell out
It might be for the best
[Chorus]
Steam from the whistle
Smoke from the stack
Gonna catch that 5:18
I'm never comin' back
Gonna catch that 5:18
I'm never comin' back
