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