Lyrics

[Verse 1] On a Monday morning From a stupor, I did sprout Raving in an ale house ′Til my money all ran out I did not need direction It was my conscience called me out Where chats are cheap and talk is often free [Verse 2] When I'm in a mirror My appearance is not so odd I change clothes More than a grave-digger turns the sod A devil in the darkness I′m a different man before God And when the Devil is listening [Chorus] The wind tonight is howling up the alleys The moon is like the barrel of a gun And the give and gеt Hasn't changed me yet I will keep you always in my mind [Verse 3] I can see my funеral And there's no one in the church From the pulpit All across the seats Through the mountains Over fields And back to this alley Eighty-odd years of living to be free [Chorus] The wind tonight is howling up the alleys The moon is like the barrel of a gun And the give and get, hasn′t changed me yet I will keep you always in my mind
