 Intro |  |  |  | |  |  |  | ||
 Gtr2:
 Last night  as I slept I dreamed  I met with Behan
 I shook him by the hand and we passed  the time of day
 When questioned  on his views on the crux  of life's philosophies
 He had  but these few clear  and simple  words to say
 I am going, I am going, Any which way the wind may be blowing
 I am going, I am going, Where streams of whiskey are flowing
 I have cursed, bled and sworn, Jumped bail and landed up in jail
 Life has often tried to stretch me, but the rope always was slack
 And now that I've a pile, I'll go down to the Chelsea
 I'll walk in on my feet, but I'll leave there on my back
 Inst |  |  |  | |  |  |  | ||
 Oh the words that he spoke, seemed the wisest of philosophies
 There's nothing ever gained by a wet thing called a tear
 When the world is too dark and I need the light inside of me
 I'll walk into a bar and drink fifteen pints of beer
 Outro |  |  |  | |  |  |  | ||
