Ragged Old Willy

Verse 1

Ragged Old Willy he stumbled on in

With a hole in his boot and a grin full of gin

The tavern went quiet the firelight flickered

He tripped on the cat and the whole room snickered

Pre-Chorus

Oh the barkeep sighed and poured him a round

Said sit yourself down on the dusty old ground

Chorus

Willy oh Willy what stories you tell

Fell off a dragon and landed in well

Lost all your gold on a three-legged mule

And still walk in here like a damn royal fool

Post-Chorus

Oh Ragged Old Willy

Oh Ragged Old Willy

Verse 2

He claims he once danced with the Queen of the Fae

Got kicked out at dawn when he passed out on hay

Says he fought a troll with a spoon and a string

And the troll ran away from the smell of the thing

Pre-Chorus

Oh the barmaid laughed and wiped down the bar

Said Willy your tales get wilder by far

Chorus

Willy oh Willy what stories you tell

Fell off a dragon and landed in well

Lost all your gold on a three-legged mule

And still walk in here like a damn royal fool

Post-Chorus

Oh Ragged Old Willy

He's always so silly

Bridge

The lute player strummed and the crowd leaned in close

Willy stood up on his wobbly toes

Said I'll have you all know I once stole a king's ring

The whole tavern roared — I bet it was string!

Chorus

Willy oh Willy what stories you tell

Fell off a dragon and landed in well

Lost all your gold on a three-legged mule

And still walk in here like a damn royal fool

Outro

Yeah still walk in here

Like a damn royal fool

Ragged Old Willy
