Lyrics Tell me what happened The Rumjacks

Tell me what happened


Sitting in a park in Dublin town
With my pack on my side-o
I met an old man and he started to talk
About a girl that he used to know
He said "I'm the type of guy that likes to run around
Breaking hearts everywhere I go
But then your youth runs out and you got no clout
No place to call your own

And the girls that used to carry you home
Have left you to rot at the bars alone"

Tell me what happened to you, son
Tell me what happened-o
Tell me what happened to you, son
You've got no place to go
Tell me what happened to you, son
Tell me what happened-o
Tell me what happened to you, son
You've got no place to go

And as his flask ran dry, bottomed up to the sky
His grin fell to a frown
The storm not far drove us into the bar
The rain was falling down
Some drink to be merry, some drink to forget
But when a man lives with regret
You'll never see a thirst so sorrowful
Long eyes through a face of red

And the girls that used to carry you home
Have left you to rot at the bars alone

Tell me what happened to you, son
Tell me what happened-o
Tell me what happened to you, son
You've go no place to go
Tell me what happened to you, son
Tell me what happened-o
Tell me what happened to you, son
You've go no place to go

And as he sang a tune about a girl he loved
When he was young and strong
He dreamt that he could win her back
If she only heard his song
He sang on the street to the passerby's
With a sad endearing charm
Until the day that she passed him by
With her husband on her arm

Tell me what happened to you, son
Tell me what happened-o
Tell me what happened to you, son
You've go no place to go
Tell me what happened to you, son
Tell me what happened-o
Tell me what happened to you, son
You've go no place to go

Tell me what happened to you, son
Tell me what happened-o
Tell me what happened to you, son
You've go no place to go
Tell me what happened to you, son
Tell me what happened-o
Tell me what happened to you, son
You've go no place to go

And the girls that used to carry you home
Have left you to rot at the bars alone

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
