The Angel's Share Lyrics

When I die well girls don't cry
Don't bother or raise no fuss
Just put me in a good pine box
Be sure the door's well shut
Life ain't nothing but a hopeless road
Of misery and despair
But when I die I'll be free at last
Getting drunk on the angel's share
The angel's share, the angel's share
When I get to heaven boys you'll find me there
On a cloud of whiskey in the pure blue air
Getting drunk as the devil on the angel's share

At the grave of kings a small bird sings
The "Long Gone Lonesome Blues"
And the lights from cars they shine like stars
In the blood and filth and booze
A ragged man says "The end is nigh
And all sinners should beware"
But with one more glass I'll be free at last
And I just won't f****** care
The angel's share, the angel's share...
Well my name is Biggs, and I raise pigs
And I never took no wife
I was born in John O'Groats
And I've lived there all my life
But I've heard tell of a better place
Far away from grief or care
Where pigs have wings and a small bird sings
"Take a draught of the angel's share"

The angel's share, the angel's share...
