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