The Dirty Glass

Lyrics

[Intro: Stephanie Dougherty] Murphy, Murphy, darling dear I long for you now night and day Your pain was my pleasure, your sorrow my joy I feel now I've lost you to health and good cheer [Verse 1: Ken Casey & Stephanie Dougherty] Darcy, when I met you I was five years too young A boy beyond his age, or so I'd tell someone Anyone who'd listen and a few who couldn't care Still, I welcomed you with open arms, my love I did share [Chorus] Darcy, Darcy, darling dear You left me dying, crying there In whiskey, gin, and pints of beer I fell for you, my darling dear [Verse 2: Ken Casey & Stephanie Dougherty] You shut me off and you showed me the door But you always came crawling back, begging me for more I'll show you kindness, a stool, and a tab Then you poured me my pain in a dirty glass [Verse 3: Ken Casey, Stephanie Dougherty & Al Barr] Yeah, you left him bloody, battered, penniless, and poor You know, I often stopped to wonder how you made it through my door With my brother's new non-duplicate registry ID Well, you bit off more than you could chew the first day you met me [Chorus] Darcy, Darcy, darling dear You left me dying, crying there In whiskey, gin, and pints of beer I fell for you, my darling dear [Verse 4: Ken Casey & Stephanie Dougherty] You weren't the first to court me, mister, you won't be the last Oh, I'm sure I wasn't honey, I know all about your past Listen to the big shot with his pager on call You spent most of those nights in my bathroom stall [Verse 5: Ken Casey, Stephanie Dougherty & Al Barr] Yeah, you got him high, but you left him low Mind your own business, boy, how was I to know That he was just a fiend and a no-good cheat? Well, it's all in the past, bitch, 'cause now I've got it beat [Chorus] Darcy, Darcy, darling dear You left me dying, crying there In whiskey, gin, and pints of beer I fell for you, my darling dear [Chorus] Darcy, Darcy, darling dear You left me dying, crying there In whiskey, gin, and pints of beer I fell for you, my darling dear [Chorus] Darcy, Darcy, darling dear You left me dying, crying there In whiskey, gin, and pints of beer I fell for you, my darling dear [Chorus] Darcy, Darcy, darling dear You left me dying, crying there In whiskey, gin, and pints of beer I fell for you, my darling dear [Outro] My dear, my dear Darcy, Darcy, my darling dear
