Loanshark Blues Lyrics - Defender - Rory Gallagher

Give me 'til Monday, that's only a day or two 

Give me til Monday, that's only a day or two 

I'll pay you back with interest the last thing that I do 

I'll pay you back with interest the last thing that I do 

Yeah, yeah 

Give me 'til Monday, that's only a day away 

Give me 'til Monday, that's only a day away 

I`m down on my knees, got one foot in the grave 

Down on my knees, got one foot in the grave 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Got the loanshark blues 

Got the loanshark blues 

Give me an offer I can't refuse 

Wife needs shoes, the kids must eat 

Feel so cold, I can't feel my feet 

Can't get my hands on one thin dime 

I'm gonna turn to a life of crime 

No work here, so I walk the street 

Sign on the door, I feel I'm beat 

I know you run Pier 15 

You got a grip on all my dreams 

I got the loanshark blues 

The loanshark blues 

Give me a number I can't refuse, yeah 

Give me 'til Monday, that's only a day or two 

Give me 'til Monday that's only a day or two 

I'll pay you back with interest the last thing that I do 

Pay you back with interest the last thing that I do 

Yeah 

Got the loanshark blues 

Got the loanshark blues 

Give me a number I can't refuse, yeah 

Roofs got holes, see the sky 

I can't get straight and I have tried 

I'm in your debt, I'm well aware 

I'll break the law cause I don't care 

Living on a knife edge I have been 

But I'm too tough to just give in 

Moving on down with the Longshore men 

On the docks we're locked out again 

I got the loanshark blues 

The loanshark blues 

Give me a number I can't refuse 

I got the loanshark blues 

Got the loanshark blues 

Give me a number I can't refuse, yeah, yeah 

Loanshark babe
