The Dirty Glass

Murphy, Murphy, darling, dear

I long for you now, night and day

Your pain was my pleasure, your sorrow, my joy

I fear now I've lost you to health and good cheer

Darcy, when I met you, I was five years too young

A boy beyond his age, or so I'd tell someone

Anyone who'd listen, and a few who couldn't care

Still, I welcomed you with open arms, my love, I did share

Darcy, Darcy, darling, dear

You left me dying, crying there

In whiskey, gin, and pints of beer

I fell for you, my darling, dear

You shut me off, and you showed me the door

But you always came crawling back, begging me for more

I'll show you kindness, a stool, and a tab

Then you poured me my pain in a dirty glass

Yeah, you left him bloody, battered, penniless, and poor

You know, I often start to wonder how you made it through my door

With my brother's new non-duplicate registry ID

Well, you bit off more than you can chew the first day you met me

Darcy, Darcy, darling, dear

You left me dying, crying there

In whiskey, gin, and pints of beer

I fell for you, my darling, dear

You weren't the first to court me, mister, you won't be the last

Oh, I'm sure I wasn't, honey, I know all about your past

Listen to the big shot, with his pager on call

You spent most of those nights in my bathroom stall

Yeah, you got him high, but you left him low

Mind your own business, boy, how was I to know

That he was just a fiend, and a no-good cheat

Well, it's all in the past, bitch, 'cause now, I got it beat

Darcy, Darcy, darling, dear

You left me dying, crying there

In whiskey, gin, and pints of beer

I fell for you, my darling, dear

Darcy, Darcy, darling, dear

You left me dying, crying there

In whiskey, gin, and pints of beer

I fell for you, my darling, dear

Darcy, Darcy, darling, dear

You left me dying, crying there

In whiskey, gin, and pints of beer

I fell for you, my darling, dear

Darcy, Darcy, darling, dear

You left me dying, crying there

In whiskey, gin, and pints of beer

I fell for you, my darling, dear

My dear, my dear

Darcy, Darcy, my darling, dear
