Down In The Ground Where The Dead Men Go Lyrics - Red Roses For Me - Pogues

Hello boys I've been away on a bit of a holiday 

To the land where the rivers freely flow 

And the cattle roam on the wild callagh 

Walking home three parts pissed 

I fell and rolled in the morning mist 

I fell and tumbled in the hungry grass 

That tells the tale of a terrible past 

I screamed and rolled and dreamt I fell 

Down in the depths of a freezing hell 

[? ? ? ] 

[? ? ? ] 

[? ? ? ] 

Gonna wrap me up and take me away 

Four million people starved to death 

Could smell the curse on their dying breath 

Where no one ever wants to go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

To hell which is circular all around 

Down in the belly of the big cold ground 

The moving shadows were everywhere 

The very trees seemed to bend and stare 

I remembered the dunes on a sligo shore 

Ran and screamed 'til I could run no more 

Over the hill and across the moor 

I ran in the house and slammed the door 

Just what the hell's that over there 

A putrefying corpse sitting in that chair 

One place I don't want to go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Been drunk as a skunk since I've been home 

From bar to bar like a ghost I roamed 

I can't forget those things I saw 

Been down with the devil in the dalling [? ] 

One place I don't want to go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go 

Down in the ground where the dead men go
