lirik lagu limbo – brass monkey
i am a brisk lad and my fortune is bad
and if e’er i get rich it’s a wonder
i’ve spent all my money on girls and strong beer
what riches i had are all plundered
field after field off to market i sent
till the land was all gone and the money was spent
my heart was so hard that i never did repent
and that’s what put me into limbo
oh once i could run while the others did lie
strut like a crow in the gutter
the people all said that saw me p-ssing by
there goes mr. fop in a flutter;
to the top and top-gallant i hoisted my sails
with a flimsy cravat and a wig with three tails
oh, now i am ready to gnaw my own nails
drink the cold water of limbo
oh i had an uncle, he lived in the west
and he heard of my sad disaster
poor soul! after that he could never take rest
oh, his sorrows came faster and faster;
he came to the gaol to see my sad case
and as soon as i saw him i knew his old face
and i stood gazing at him like one in disgrace
and i wished myself safe out of limbo
jack, if i should set you once more on your legs
and put you in credit and fashion
oh! will you lay off all those rakish old ways
try for to govern your p-ssion?
oh uncle, says i, if you will set me free
i surely will always be ruled by thee
and i’ll labour my bones for the good of my soul
see myself miles out of limbo
then out of his purse he pulled three thousand pounds
he counted it up in bright guineas
and when i was free of those prison’s gates
oh, i went to see peggy and jeannie;
in my old ragged clothes they knew nought of my gold
and they all turned me out in the wet and the cold
you’d a-laughed for to hear how those hussies did scold
the night they let me out of limbo
