Story behind the song
Fast version of co-write with Brian Ralston (aka Self Tort) of Australia.
He'd already kindly done a slow, poignant song with my lyrics, (about a young soldier going to war) but this new fun version is loud and bawdy in The Pogues style.
Lyrics
I’ll miss you all the time my love, but coming home I’ll sing,
I’ll bring you what you want my love, I’ll fetch a wedding ring,
We'll get the horses looking good, with flowers in their manes,
I’ll paint the carriage, make it fine, for driving down the lane.
CHORUS
I’ll give thy lips a kiss my love, maybe two or three,
When I get back I’m hoping that you’ll want some more from me
Oh, you’ll want some more from me my love,
You’ll want some more from me
When I get back I’m hoping that
You’ll want some more from me
3
Al bring yer mam a cookin pan, shiny bright and new,
An’ rabbits from the field so she can make a rabbit stew.
4
Al paint the gate while Nancy gathers flowers from the Dale,
And Uncle Jack is up fer bringin’ barrel loads of ale
CHORUS
Al give thi lips a kiss mi love, maybe two or three,
When I get back am hopin’ that you’ll want some more from me
Oh, you’ll want some more from me mi love,
You’ll want some more from me
When I get back I’m hopin’ that
You’ll want some more from me
1 repeat
A’ll miss thi all the time mi love, but comin' home al sing,
Al bring thi what tha wants mi love, al fetch a weddin' ring,
2 repeat
We'll get the horses lookin' good, with flowers in ther manes,
Al paint the carriage, make it fine, fer ridin' down the lane.
BRIDGE
Old Joe'll play the fiddle, and the dancing will begin,
We'll drink to them, they'll drink to us, we'll drink to them again
The folks'll come from miles away to see our Weddin' Day,
And al never leave thi side mi love, al never go away.
CHORUS
Al give thi lips a kiss mi love, maybe two or three,
When I get back am hopin’ that you’ll want some more from me
Oh, you’ll want some more from me mi love,
You’ll want some more from me
When I get back I’m telling thee,
You’ll want some more from me
