Pills of White Mercury
Dave Gunning
A Bm D E
As I was walking by the banks of the Ugie
A Bm D E
Come my dear fellows and a story I will tell
A Bm D E
I spied a dear comrade, dressed in white flannel
A D E A
Dressed in white flannel and cruel was his fate
A Bm D E
The mercury was beating, the limestone was reeking
A Bm D E
His tongue all in flamed hung over his chin
A Bm D E
With a hole in his bosom, his teeth were a closin'
A D E A
Bad luck to the girl who gave it to him
[Chorus]
A Bm D E
And had she but told me, when she dis honoured me
A Bm D E
Had she but told me of it in time
A Bm D E
I might have been cured by those pills of white mercury
A D E A
But now I'm a young man cut down in my prime
A Bm D E
My parents they warned me and oftimes they chided
A Bm D E
With those young flash girls do not sport and play
A Bm D E
But I never listened, no I never heeded
A D E A Chorus
I just carried on in my own wicked way
A Bm D E
It was down on the corner two flash girls were talking
A Bm D E
One to the other in a whisper did say
A Bm D E
There goes that young man who once was so jolly
A D E A Chorus
But now for his sins his poor body must pay
A Bm D E
Oh doctor, dear doctor be fore you de parture
A Bm D E
Take all these bottles of mercury away
A Bm D E
And send for the minister to say a prayer over me
A D E A
Then you can lay my poor body in the clay
A Bm D E
Now get you six fellows to carry my coffin
A Bm D E
Six pretty fair maids to bear up my pall
A Bm D E
And give each of them a bunch of red roses
A D E A Chorus
So when they pass by me they'll not know the smell
