Harry Rag Lyrics


Ah, Tom is young and Tom is bold
Tom is as bold as the knights of old
But whenever he gets in a bit of a jam
There's nothing he won't do to get a Harry Rag
Harry Rag, Harry Rag
Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
And he curses himself for the life he's led
And rolls himself a Harry Rag and puts himself to bed
Ah, tom's old ma is a dying lass
Soon they all reckon she'll be pushing up the grass
And her bones might ache and her skin might sag
But still she's got the strength to have a Harry Rag
Harry Rag, Harry Rag
Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
And she curses herself for the life she's led

And rolls herself a Harry Rag and puts herself to bed
Ah, bless you tax man, bless you all
You may take some but you never take it all
But if i give it all, i won't feel sad
As long as i got enough to buy a Harry Rag
Harry Rag, Harry Rag
Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
And i curse myself for the life i've led
And roll myself a Harry Rag and put myself to bed
Ah, the smart young ladies of the land
Can't relax without a harry in their hand
And they light one and they boast and brag
So content because they got a Harry Rag
Harry Rag, Harry Rag
Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
And they'll light one and they'll boast and brag
So content because they got a Harry Rag
Harry Rag, Harry Rag
I'll do anything just to get a Harry Rag
And i curse myself for the life i've led
I noticed from myself a Harry Rag and put myself to bed

The Kinks (1963–1996) were an English pop group that came out of the British R&B scene of the early 1960s.

Formed in 1963 in Muswell Hill, North London, they first gained prominence on the heels of the well-received and highly influential single "You Really Got Me" (1964). The group originally consisted of lead singer/guitarist Ray Davies, his brother lead guitarist Dave Davies, drummer Mick Avory, and bassist Peter Quaife. Quaife left (twice) in the late 1960s, and Avory finally left in 1984 as the result of a long-running dispute with Dave Davies, leaving only the Davies brothers as the core of the original group.

With Ray's songwriting skills and unashamedly English voices, Dave's impressive guitar work, and Avory's tight and steady drumming, the band became one of the best and most influential groups of British pop and the "british invasion" of the U.S.A., lasting longer than any of their competitors, apart from The Rolling Stones, as they broke up in 1996. Their catalogue of songs has been covered by Van Halen, The Pretenders, The Black Keys, The Stranglers,Queens of the Stone Age , and many more.
