Tekst piosenki
Tam he woke tae find a shadow by the bed,
Blamed it on the vapors still beleaguerin' his head,
Scrubbed his chops & dragged an oily bug rake through his hair,
And wiped the mirror tae find the bogey mimickin' his stare,
He boilt the jug tae quench his mug & baked a lump o' toast,
Hid behind the racin' pages from the hoary ghost,
«Awfy ghostie if yer here tae make me dead,
Spare me life & bother me wife or Mother-in-law instead!»
«Tam McCorty I’m not here to make you cry,
I know youre just a broken man wi' longing in his eye,
I’ll say my say & go my way a-carving through the rye,
Tam McCorty, its not your day to die.»
«By the way ye’ve hung yer tools o' trade & mantle I can tell,
Ye willnae leave until ye’ve seen me safely intae hell,
So follow me down the 'Horse & Crown' of liquor I’m sae fond,
I’ll drink meself tae death & haunt the witches from beyond.»
They drank to fallen heroes, they spat & cursed the Queen,
They argued o’er 'Black Caviar' - The finest ever seen?
They smoked cigars & played at cards for pots o' Gilbeys Gin,
Roarin' as the fiery liqour, it spilled all down their chin.
They staggered home along the tracks & pissed against a post,
The dogs a' barkin' madly, all as though they’d seen a ghost,
«Oh take me now I beg you, pick yer mark & pick it well,
I’m tired o' livin' & there I think I hear the hounds o' HELL!»
Death threw his cloak across him where he passed out in his chair,
And whispered in a frosty tone directly in his ear,
«Best you learn to live again, forgive yerself yer past,
For when you see me next Tam, it’ll be your last.»

# Tam McCorty,
Wiem, że jesteś tylko złamanym człowiekiem z tęsknotą w oku.,
I ' ll say my say & go my way a-carving through the rye,
Tam McCorty, to nie twój dzień na śmierć.»
"By the way ye' ve hung yer tools o ' Trade & mantle I can tell,
Nie odejdziecie, dopóki nie zobaczycie mnie bezpiecznie w piekle.,
So follow me down the 'Horse & Crown' of liquor I ' m sae fond,
I ' ll drink himself tae death & haunt the witches from beyond.»
They Prank to fallen heroes, they spat & cursed The Queen,
Kłócili się o "czarny kawior" - najlepszy jaki kiedykolwiek widziano?
They smoked cigars & played at cards for pots o ' Gilbeys Gin,
Rycząc jak ognisty liqour, rozlał się po ich podbródkach.
They staggered home along the tracks & sicked against a post,
Psy szczekały do szaleństwa, jakby ujrzały ducha.,
"Oh take me now I beg you, pick yer mark & pick it well,
I' m tired o' livin' & there I think I hear the hounds o ' HELL!»
Śmierć rzuciła na niego płaszcz, gdzie zemdlał na krześle.,
I szepnął mroźnym tonem prosto do ucha,
"Lepiej naucz się żyć na nowo, wybacz sobie przeszłość,
Bo kiedy zobaczysz mnie następnym razem, to będzie twój ostatni.»
