Lyrics

I'm sick and tired of hashish
All my money's burned to ashes
Fed up with the same old lousy deal
When I get to drinking
It's then I get to thinking
That nothing stays the same old way.

When I wake up in the morning
I hear your voice calling
I reach out and you're gone
And it's hard to keep on going
It's a hard row that I'm hoeing
Without you by my side.

I remember when I met you
I swore I'd never leave you
Nor let you down
Now I stand defeated
A man who life has cheated
A ship that's run aground.
