Cobblers To The Queen |
by Terry Fletcher |
|||
|
There’s none assembled here’s beyond redemption Leave your glasses on the bar and join his throng Rich or poor, God saves without exemption Mind, a donation now and then won’t come in wrong In my own life, I have but two ambitions All you here tonight know what I mean To be the good Lord’s fisherman, to set up a travelling mission And be Willie Horn, cobblers to the Queen Even though I’ve Joe and Jebaz as disciples Some think I’ve bitten more than I can chew Ignore that idle chatter, it’s a myth it’s size that matters Just remember, I’ve got a little Willie too Last night I had a dream, a blinding vision The Lord was telling me to spread his news If you’ll just grant me wish ’n’ donate the money for me mission I’ll save more souls than ever were on shoes And if ever I’m bestowed that Royal appointment For repairing shoes the best they’ve ever been With my regal appellation, I may be in Fraser’s publication I can see the headline ‘Cobblers to the Queen’ There’s many a man in this pub’s fell to temptation But the good Lord in His wisdom understands Let the Lord be your salvation, renounce the drink and fornication Have belief, you’ll find relief in your own hands And even Mary Ann has found religion She’s praying for souls where she was once depraved, I’ve seen her on her knees down by the docks at Cowpen Quays That sailor’s face told me that he’d been saved And when I reach those pearly gates in Heaven I can rest assured my conscience will be clean When St Peter asks me what I’m worth and what I did down here on Earth I’ll be proud to tell him ‘Cobblers to the Queen’ |
