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