Pills of White Mercury
Dave Gunning
G Am C D
As I was walking by the banks of the Ugie
G Am C D
Come my dear fellows and a story I will tell
G Am C D
I spied a dear comrade, dressed in white flannel
G C D G
Dressed in white flannel and cruel was his fate
G Am C D
The mercury was beating, the limestone was reeking
G Am C D
His tongue all in flamed hung over his chin
G Am C D
With a hole in his bosom, his teeth were a closin'
G C D G
Bad luck to the girl who gave it to him

Chorus:
G Am C D
And had she but told me, when she dis honoured me
G Am C D
Had she but told me of it in time
G Am C D
I might have been cured by those pills of white mercury
G C D G
But now I'm a young man cut down in my prime
G Am C D
My parents they warned me and oftimes they chided
G Am C D
With those young flash girls do not sport and play
G Am C D
But I never listened, no I never heeded
G C D G Chorus
I just carried on in my own wicked way
G Am C D
It was down on the corner two flash girls were talking
G Am C D
One to the other in a whisper did say
G Am C D
There goes that young man who once was so jolly
G C D G Chorus
But now for his sins his poor body must pay
G Am C D
Oh doctor, dear doctor be fore you de parture
G Am C D
Take all these bottles of mercury away
G Am C D
And send for the minister to say a prayer over me
G C D G
Then you can lay my poor body in the clay
G Am C D
Now get you six fellows to carry my coffin
G Am C D
Six pretty fair maids to bear up my pall
G Am C D
And give each of them a bunch of red roses
