[00:23.43]I’m a maker of ballads right pretty
[00:27.48]I write? em right here in the street
[00:32.01]You can buy them all over the city
[00:36.46]Yours for a penny a sheet
[00:41.05]I’m a word pecker out of the printers
[00:48.26]Out of the dens of Gin Lane
[00:52.82]I’ll write up a scene on a counter
[00:57.25]Confessions and sins in the main
[01:01.53]Boys, confession and sins in the main
[01:09.02]Then you’ll find me in Madame Geneva’s
[01:13.64]Keepin’ the demons at bay
[01:18.10]There’s nothin’ like gin for drownin’ them in
[01:22.90]But they’ll always be back on a hangin’ day
[01:31.11]On a hangin’ day
[01:50.52]They come rattlin’ over the cobbles
[01:54.93]They sit on their coffins of black
[01:59.49]Some are struck dumb, some gabble
[02:04.08]Top-heavy on brandy or sack
[02:11.48]The pews are all full of fine fellows
[02:16.55]And the hawker has set up her shop
[02:20.30]As they’re turnin’ em off at the gallows
[02:25.03]She’ll be sellin’ right under the drop
[02:29.74]Boys, sellin’ right under the drop
[02:35.96]Then you’ll find me in Madame Geneva’s
[02:40.69]Keepin’ the demons at bay
[02:45.58]There’s nothin’ like gin for drownin? them in
[02:50.70]But they’ll always be back on a hangin’ day
[02:58.79]On a hangin’ day
