Gerry Rafferty
"One Drink Down"

To Rafferty's Bar in my old jaunting carI took myself one Friday eveningTo think on a son so deceivingIt's one drink down and another to go.
He was married in haste to a woman unchasteMuch to the shame of the fatherHis face still half-covered in latherIt's one drink down and another to go.
It's one drink down and another to goWhen I pass through the town I must hang my head lowIt's one drink down and another to go.
I'm not the kind to condemn out of handA woman whose virtue is easyJust as long as she doesn't deceive meIt's one drink down and another to go.
Imagine a life with an unfaithful wifeMight wake up in the morningAnd find that she's left without warningIt's one drink down and another to go.
It's one drink down and another to goWhen I pass through the town I must hang my head lowIt's one drink down and another to go.
