    Its called: Sally MacLennane

    Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
    He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn
    He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
    And they all looked very happy in the morning

    Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
    Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks
    When he'd had too many powers
    So sad to see the grieving of the people that he's leaving
    And he took the road for God knows in the morning

    (CHORUS)
    We walked him to the station in the rain
    We kissed him as we put him on the train
    And we sang him a song of times long gone
    Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
    (Far away!) Sad to say I must be on my way
    So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away!)
    I'd like to think of me returning when I can
    To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane

    The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man
    I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane
    I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn
    And ended up a barman in the morning

    I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
    I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
    I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
    And some people left for heaven without warning

    (CHORUS)

    When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone
    He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
    Some people they are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
    And he took the road for heaven in the morning
