Lyrics
O boys, what will we do now the war is over?
All the doors are closed theres no place to go
For an old soldier
Come, come, give the devil his due, he could tell a lie
But he can’t take away what the Lord gave you and I
Gin from the junipers
Whisky from the rye
Beer from the barley
And the blood of the vine
The blind wind blows a lullaby
We don’t need no holy water
We are made of broken things, but we will rise again
A crown’s a yoke
Gimme a drink and a smoke
And some tales of the old campaigns
Gin from the junipers
Whisky from the rye
Beer from the barley
And the blood of the vine
The blind wind blows a lullaby
We don’t need no holy water
We stand against the Gods
We will be free
Sing, sing, ?God save the King!
We shall have our victory…
O boys, where have you gone?
When I find ya , I’ll shoot ya..

VIVA LA LUCA!
Gin from the junipers
Whisky from the rye

And the blood of the vine
The blind wind blows a lullaby
We dont need no holy water
