[00:00:00] The Reaper And Tam McCorty - The Rumjacks

[00:00:02] Written by：The Rumjacks

[00:00:13] Tam he woke tae find a shadow by the bed

[00:00:16] Blamed it on the vapors still beleaguerin' his head

[00:00:19] Scrubbed his chops & dragged an oily bug rake through his hair

[00:00:23] And wiped the mirror tae find the bogey mimickin' his stare

[00:00:27] He boilt the jug tae quench his mug & baked a lump o' toast

[00:00:30] Hid behind the racin' pages from the hoary ghost

[00:00:33] Away ghostie if yer here tae make me dead

[00:00:36] Spare me life & bother me wife or mother-in-law instead

[00:00:40] Tam mccorty I'm not here to make you cry

[00:00:43] I know you're just a broken man wi' longing in his eye

[00:00:46] I'll say my say & go my way a carving through the rye

[00:00:50] Tam mccorty its not your day to die

[00:00:56] By the way ye've hung yer tools o' trade & mantle I can tell

[00:01:00] Ye willnae leave until ye've seen me safely intae hell

[00:01:03] So follow me down the 'horse & crown' of liquor I'm sae fond

[00:01:07] I'll drink meself tae death & haunt the witches from beyond

[00:01:10] Tam mccorty I'm not here to make you cry

[00:01:13] I know you're just a broken man wi' longing in his eye

[00:01:17] I'll say my say & go my way a carving through the rye

[00:01:20] Tam mccorty its not your day to die

[00:01:27] They drank to fallen heroes they spat & cursed the queen

[00:01:30] They argued o'er 'black caviar' the finest ever seen

[00:01:34] They smoked cigars & played at cards for pots o' gilbeys gin

[00:01:37] Roarin' as the fiery liqour it spilled all down their chin

[00:02:00] Tam mccorty I'm not here to make you cry

[00:02:03] I know you're just a broken man wi' longing in his eye

[00:02:06] I'll say my say & go my way a carving through the rye

[00:02:10] Tam mccorty its not your day to die

[00:02:16] They staggered home along the tracks & pissed against a post

[00:02:19] The dogs a' barkin' madly all as though they'd seen a ghost

[00:02:23] Oh take me now I beg you pick yer mark & pick it well

[00:02:26] I'm tired o' livin'& there I think I hear the hounds o' hell

[00:02:30] Tam mccorty I'm not here to make you cry

[00:02:33] I know you're just a broken man wi' longing in his eye

[00:02:36] I'll say my say & go my way a carving through the rye

[00:02:40] Tam mccorty its not your day to die

[00:02:47] Death threw his cloak across him where he passed out in his chair

[00:02:51] And whispered in a frosty tone directly in his ear

[00:02:58] Best you learn to live again forgive yourself yer past

[00:03:02] For when you see me next tam it'll be your last

[00:03:06] Tam mccorty I'm not here to make you cry

[00:03:09] I know you're just a broken man wi' longing in his eye

[00:03:12] I'll say my say & go my way a carving through the rye

[00:03:16] Tam mccorty its not your day to die

[00:03:19] Tam mccorty I'm not here to make you cry

[00:03:22] I know you're just a broken man wi' longing in his eye

[00:03:26] I'll say my say & go my way a carving through the rye

[00:03:29] Tam mccorty its not your day to die

[00:03:33] Tam mccorty its not your day to die

[00:03:36] Tam mccorty its not your day to die
