St. Olav's Gate Lyrics - The Long Way Around - Tom Russell

Drinking black market vodka in the back of the Scottsman's saloon 

Then it's red meat and whiskey like a coyote drunk on the moon 

Outside in Oslo the buskers' all sing the same tune 

And it's Waltzin' Matilda while the bagpipes play old Clare de Lune 

 

She was a lady, she came down from Bergen she said 

She spoke little English, they laughed and drank whiskey instead 

In the mornin' he found it, a rose with a note on his plate 

It said, "meet me at midnight on the corner of St. Olav's Gate" 

 

[Repeat: x2] 

Here's to the ladys you love and don't see again 

The night is warm whiskey, the mornin's a cold bitter wind 

The blue eyed madonna leaves town while the drunken man waits 

Leaves him standing alone in the shadows of St. Olav's Gate
