Lyrics

Ah, Tom is young and Tom is bold Tom is as bold as the knights of old But whenever he gets in a bit of a jam There's nothing he won't do to get a Harry rag Harry rag, Harry rag Do anything just to get a Harry rag And he curses himself for the life he's led And rolls himself a Harry rag and puts himself to bed Ah, Tom's old ma is a dying lass Soon they all reckon she'll be pushing up the grass And her bones might ache and her skin might sag But still she's got the strength to have a Harry rag Harry rag, Harry rag Do anything just to get a Harry rag And she curses herself for the life she's led And rolls herself a Harry rag and puts herself to bed Ah, bless you tax man, bless you all You may take some but you never take it all But if I give it all, I won't feel sad As long as I got enough to buy a harry rag Harry rag, Harry rag Do anything just to get a harry rag And I curse myself for the life I've led And roll myself a Harry rag and put myself to bed Ah, the smart young ladies of the land Can't relax without a Harry in their hand And they light one and they boast and brag So content because they got a Harry rag Harry rag, Harry rag Do anything just to get a Harry rag And they'll light one and they'll boast and brag So content because they got a Harry rag Harry rag, Harry rag I'll do anything just to get a Harry rag And I curse myself for the life I've led And roll myself a Harry rag and put myself to bed
