They Say It’s A Crime Lyrics – Dougie Young
Singer: Dougie Young
Title: They Say It’s A Crime
Now they say it’s a crime, drinking beer and wine
Will lead a good man astray
When it comes to grog, i’m a fair dinkum hog
I guess i was born that way
But i’ll drink and roam ’til the cows come home
If it will give my poor heart ease
I don’t care who knows, i work for my dough
And i’ll spend it as i please
I was cutting a rug they threw me in the jug
As the magistrate looked down
He said “youngie doug you’re a wine-loving mug
And you’re a menace to the town”
He said i’ll put you away, in the cell you will stay
Until you learn some sense
Well he cursed and cried he said my doggone hide
Wasn’t worth eighteen pence
I spent a day in jail and they paid my bail
When they opened up the big iron door
Then i shook my head as i sadly said
Well i’ll never get drunk no more
And i made a vow i gave it up somehow
But as i stroll down the line
I met a friend of mine, who had a flagon of wine
So we turned it on again
People in town they just run me down
They gave me a real bad name
They say i drink and fight, but that’s quite all right
’cause the other boys do the same
Now after i’m dead they’re gonna hang their heads
And say i wasn’t such a bad guy
They’ll be feeling sad, well i’m gonna get mad
If they gather ’round my grave and cry
’cause they say it a crime drinking beer and wine
Will lead a good man astray
When it come to grog, i’m a fair dinkum hog
Well i guess i was born that way
But i’ll drink and roam ’til the cows come home
If it will give my poor heart ease
I don’t care who knows, i work for my dough
And i’ll spend it how i please
My name is youngie doug
I’m gonna cut a rug
Until the day i die
