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