Bad 'n' Ruin

Mother, don't you recognize your son?

Coming home, 'cause I failed you Mother

I'll be there in the morning

If you'll have me back

The rent up here is much too high

For a room without a tap

I'll be early in the morning

And I'll find my way back home

Back home bad 'n' ruin

With my tail between my legs

Tail between my legs

And I'll be so tired

I'll be early tomorrow morning

And I'll fall down off my plane

Don't be embarrassed mother

By your ugly worn-out son

Your ugly worn-out son.

Mother, you won't recognize me now

Mother, you won't recognize me now

Mother, you won't recognize me now

And I'll be down on Cannon Street

Passport in my hand

Should you not recognize me

I've heavily made-up my eyes

Momma, you won't recognize me now

Brother, you won't recognize me now

Sister, you won't recognize me now

Mother, you won't recognize me now

So mother when you've seen me

Don't forget I'm your boy too

I know my brother has done you proud

He's one foot in the grave

Mother don't you recognize me now?

I'm a burglar in the first degree

But it don't seem to worry me

I'll be so tired, so tired

I'll be so tired, so tired

So Tired
