Song Of The Old Rake
Paul Kelly

Pretty child come here to me

Listen to my story

Won't you sit down on my knee

Your eyes are like your mother's

And your mother's mother's

Deeper than the deep blue sea


All them girls I used to love

By the fire all alone I sit dreaming of

All them girls I used to hold

I made their love turn cold


These old bones are aching

These old hands are shaking

Lord I can't see the page

Sing me the song I taught you

Fetch my wine and water

Never thought I'd reach this stage


All them girls I used to know


Like a fool acting smart I let them go

All them girls a long time gone

I lost them one by one


All them girls with their creamy skin

What I'd give just to have one in my arms again

Oh my girl when you start to play

Don't give your heart away


All them girls I used to kiss

I don't know how my days all came down to this

All them girls I used to hold

I made their love turn cold


Oh my girl when you start to play

Don't give your heart away
