Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan
"Will ye go to the Galway races?"
Says your aul' wan to my aul' wan,
"I'll hawk me aul' man's braces.
I went up to Capel Street
To the Jewish moneylenders
But he wouldn't give me a couple of bob
For the aul' man's red suspenders."
Chorus
Break (2x)
Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan
"We got no beef or mutton
If we went up to Monto town
We might get a drink for nuttin'"
Here's a nice piece of advice
I got from an aul' fishmonger:
"When food is scarce and you see the hearse
You'll know you have died of hunger."
Chorus
Break

| Hmm I disagree with Spook!! Because well I just do, I don't think its about women at all. The Young Dubliners do a pretty good version of this. | |

| You can find the trad lyric to this at http://www.pogues.com/Releases/Lyrics/LPs/RedRoses/Waxie.html. "The Waxie's Dargle" was an annual ball held by the candlemakers. | |

| its two guys talking about their wives, we get the image of two married ladies out for a night on the town in one of Dublin's wilder neighborhoods, getting drinks from men not their husbands. i think the way they imitate the women's voices en the chorus makes the song extra-funny | |
