When these shoes were new it was "how do you do", it was whiskey and telling our tales
     E MajorE            A augmentedA            E MajorE               B7B7

All of my brothers that I met on the way, they were drinking by night, they were drinking by day

  E MajorE         A augmentedA          E MajorE            B7B7
"Ah Mister McEwen you will be my ruin", I say, but I don't really mind

Oh I'm still smiling through, though there's stains on my shoes, the right is heavy and the left it is light
      E MajorE           A augmentedA
And if it's left up to you then I know what you'd do
