Days of Rum Lyrics

You knew her in the time
She was young
and yearned to die
She'd gaze at the light
In the corner in the night
And the men would come to her
In the dead of old winter
In the doldrums it was fine
To touch her body and her mind

Singing: Dum-diddy dum
Days of fun, days of rum!
Singing, Dum-diddy-dum
Days of fun, days of rum!
Scarlet in the wine
Raise the b***** vine
Oh, she knew you in the time
She was young
And yearned to die
But the roses never came
She was just some winters dame
And in her bed she lay
As she dreamt of a dying day
Singing, Dum-diddy-dum
Days of fun, days of rum
Singing, Dum-diddy-dum
Days of fun, days of rum
