Flogging Molly Lyrics

Album: Alive Behind the Green Door

Every Dog Has It's Day Lyrics

Well I've drunk to drown, on every ocean I've been 

 Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim 

 Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen's land 

 Well I drank with the Sultan, down the Suez Canal

 

 Cause Every Dog Has Its Day 

 Like every woman, she gets her own way 

 And if there's a ship that sails tonight 

 I'll captain that too, just to be there with you

 

 Well there was old Jerry Rooney, who was mad as a mule 

 Spillblood Maloney had a head like one too 

 That night on the bridge, with my shovel in hand 

 Well he threatened to kill me, for sure he picked the wrong man

 

 Cause Every Dog Has Its Day 

 Like every woman, she gets her own way 

 And if there's a ship that sails tonight 

 I'll captain that too, just to be there with you

 

 Well there was mutiny in Lagos, aboard the mean ship Skondi 

 Ten or twelve days in prison, till the bastards set me free 

 McCloskey you're free

 

 Cause Every Dog Has Its Day 

 Like every woman, she gets her own way 

 And if there's a ship that sails tonight 

 I'll captain that too, just to be there with you

 

 Now I love the sea and she wants me back 

 So I leave this ol' harbor, with the wind at my back 

 Goodbye mother Theresa, I hope the kids settle down 

 I must head for the Chinas, pray to God I don't drown

 

 For Every Dog Has Its Day 

 Like every woman, she gets her own way 

 And if there's a ship that sails tonight 

 I'll captain that too

 

 Cause Every Dog Has Its Day 

 Like every woman, she gets her own way 

 And if there's a ship that sails tonight 

 I'll captain that too, just to be there with you
