Every Dog Has Its Day Lyrics - Alive Behind The Green Door - Flogging Molly

Well, I've drunk to drown, on every ocean I've been 

Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim 

Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen's land 

Well, I drank with the Sultan, down the Suez Canal 

'Cause every dog has its day 

Like every woman, she gets her own way 

And if there's a ship that sails tonight 

I'll captain that too, just to be there with you 

Well, there was old Jerry Rooney, who was mad as a mule 

Spillblood Maloney had a head like one too 

That night on the bridge, with my shovel in hand 

Well, he threatened to kill me, for sure he picked the wrong man 

'Cause every dog has its day 

Like every woman, she gets her own way 

And if there's a ship that sails tonight 

I'll captain that too, just to be there with you 

Well, there was mutiny in Lagos 

Aboard the mean ship Skondi 

Ten or twelve days in prison 

'Till the bastards set me free, McCluskey you're free 

'Cause every dog has its day 

Like every woman, she gets her own way 

And if there's a ship that sails tonight 

I'll captain that too, just to be there with you 

Now I love the sea and she wants me back 

So I leave this old harbor, with the wind at my back 

Goodbye Mother Theresa, I hope the kids settle down 

I must head for the China's, pray to God, I don't drown 

(One, two, three) for every dog has its day 

Like every woman, she gets her own way 

And if there's a ship that sails tonight 

I'll captain that too 

'Cause every dog has its day 

Like every woman, she gets her own way 

And if there's a ship that sails tonight 

I'll captain that too, too, too 

Just to be there with you 

Just to be there with you 

And just to be there with you 

Just to be there with you 

Just to be there with you
