Flogging Molly - Every Dog Has Its 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 it's 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 it's 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 skandi
Ten or twelve days in prison till
The bastards set me free
McCloskey you're free

'Cause every dog has it's 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

One, two for every dog has it's 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 it's day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if there's a ship that sails tonight
I'll captain that too, too, too
Just to be there with you
Just to be there with you
Just to be there with you
Just to be there with you
Just to be there with you
