Ah, Tom is young and Tom is bold

C7

Tom is as bold as the knights of old

       C                  C7

But whenever he gets in a bit of a jam

         G                           C

Theres nothing he wont do to get a harry rag

 C

Harry rag, harry rag

C7

Do anything just to get a harry rag

         C                     C7

And he curses himself for the life hes led

         G                            C

And he rolls himself a harry rag and puts himself to bed



Ah, Tom's old ma is a dying lass

Soon they all reckon shell be pushing up the grass

And her bones might ache and her skin might sag

But still shes got the strength to have a harry rag



Harry rag, harry rag

Do anything just to get a harry rag

And she curses herself for the life shes led

And rolls herself a harry rag and puts herself to bed



Ah, bless you tax man, bless you all

You may take some but you never take it all

But if I give it all, I wont feel sad

As long as I got enough to buy a harry rag



Harry rag, harry rag

Do anything just to get a harry rag

And I curse myself for the life Ive led

And roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed



Ah, the smart young ladies of the land

Cant relax without a harry in their hand

And they light one and they boast and brag

So content because they got a harry rag



Harry rag, harry rag

Do anything just to get a harry rag

And theyll light one and theyll boast and brag

So content because they got a harry rag



Harry rag, harry rag

Ill do anything just to get a harry rag

And I curse myself for the life Ive led

And roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed
