A Fine Lass You Are

O where are you now my love of mine I've had every drop of my brandy and wine Until I am safe within your arms My tears fill all of my days O say that you won't leave me and say you won't deceive me. It's a fine man you are, my god you have my heart. Baby come to my uncle's wake with me At your brothers parlour up the street And I'll take you away for a drink with me And I will hold you close to me Do you remember the first time we met my love I was stunned at how pretty you are I couldn't believe you would talk to me I hung on every word. Wine comes in at the mouth Love comes in at the eye I lift my glass to my mouth I look at you and I sigh Well today have I told you, I love you That there's no one above you It's a fine lass you are Oh my god, you have my heart I will break anyone's goddamn neck If I hear that they've crossed you or broke your respect From Bridgeport to Beverly all of the time Chicago is yours now because it is mine Although our nights are empty my love You still can see the stars You are truly a light in this fucking dark And endless world of our On a Sunday mornin' for church early With a kick my father would awaken me Shouting some verbal abuse at me Spewing drunk history, waving a gun at me So come sit you down upon my knee For I love how gentle you are I know you know what it's like to be hurt Hell I even love your do, Palais. I will break your goddamn neck If I hear that you've crossed me or broke her respect I'm not the friend you knew back then You're now entering the world of men The lights from the skyline reflect on the shore Of my beautiful city and the town I adore This city could crush you if you don't step aside But this town will embrace you, because it is mine Chicago, it's where we were born and it's where we will go All the pubs and the bookies that I call my home Where warlords and con men like rats scurry home But I walk these streets without a care all alone.
