One Drink Down Lyrics - Gerry Rafferty

To Rafferty's Bar in my old jaunting car 

I took myself one Friday evening 

To think on a son so deceiving 

It's one drink down and another to go. 

He was married in haste to a woman unchaste 

Much to the shame of the father 

His face still half-covered in lather 

It's one drink down and another to go. 

It's one drink down and another to go 

When I pass through the town I must hang my head low 

It's one drink down and another to go.

I'm not the kind to condemn out of hand 

A woman whose virtue is easy 

Just as long as she doesn't deceive me 

It's one drink down and another to go. 

Imagine a life with an unfaithful wife 

Might wake up in the morning 

And find that she's left without warning 

It's one drink down and another to go. 

It's one drink down and another to go 

When I pass through the town I must hang my head low 

It's one drink down and another to go.
