My coat`s old, but it`s got a good lining
Round the cuffs it`s started to fray
Found a hole in the back of my pocket
Must `a` lost my money that way.
Oh, God help me it`s started to rain
Oh, God help me I`m feeling the strain.
I came down from the back of Virginia
Got in a brawl in a dirty saloon
Big fella said "I thought I`d seen ya
With my lady looking up at the moon."
Oh, God help me it`s started to rain
Oh, God help me I`m feeling the strain.
I got a degree in philosophy at the University of Birmingham
Then I shaved my face, got sick of the pace, so I quit the race
I couldn`t give a damn.
My shoes leak, my feet are dirty
My back aches and my head is sore
Got mixed up with a gal named Gurty
It`s all I could to reach the door.
Oh, God help me it`s started to rain
Oh, God help me I`m feeling the strain.
INSTRUMENTAL
Got a degree in philosophy at the University of Birmingham
Then I shaved my face, got sick of the pace, so I quit the race
I couldn`t give a damn.
My shoes leak, my feet are dirty
My back aches and my head is sore
Got mixed up with a gal named Gurty
It`s all I could to reach the door.
Oh, God help me it`s started to rain
Oh, God help me I`m feeling the strain.
Oh, God help me it`s started to rain
Oh, God help me I`m feeling the strain.
(Repeat and fade).
