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