Streams of Whiskey – The Pogues

Last night as I sleptI dreamt I met with BehanI shook him by the hand and we passed the time of dayWhen questioned on his viewsOn the crux of life's philosophiesHe had but these few clear and simple words to say

I am going, I am goingAny which way the wind may be blowingI am going, I am goingWhere streams of whiskey are flowing

I have cursed, bled and swornJumped bail and landed up in jailLife has often tried to stretch meBut the rope always went slackAnd now that I've a pileI'll go down to the ChelseaI'll walk in on my feetBut I'll leave there on my back

Chorus.

Oh the words that he spokeSeemed the wisest of philosophiesThere was nothing ever gainedBy a wet thing called a tearWhen the world is too darkAnd I need the light inside of meI'll walk into a barAnd drink fifteen pints of beer

Because I'm going, I am goingAny which way the wind may be blowingI am going, I am goingWhere streams of whiskey are flowing
