st. olav's gate - nanci griffith lyrics
(by tom russell)
drinking black market vodka in the back of the scottsman’s saloon
then it’s red meat and whiskey like a coyote drunk on the moon
outside in oslo the buskers’ all sing the same tune
and it’s waltzin’ matilda while the bagpipes play old clare de lune
she was a lady, she came down from bergen she said
she spoke little english, they laughed and drank whiskey instead
in the mornin’ he found it… a rose with a note on his plate
it said, “meet me at midnight on the corner of st. olav’s gate”
[chorus:]
here’s to the ladys you love and don’t see again
the night is warm whiskey… the mornin’s a cold bitter wind
the blue eyed madonna leaves town while the drunken man waits
leaves him standing alone in the shadows of st. olav’s gate
[chorus]
