Every Dog Has It's Day - Flogging Molly

Well I've drunk to drown, on every ocean I've been 
Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim 
Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen's land 
Well I drank with the Sultan, down the Suez Canal

Cause Every Dog Has Its Day 
Like every woman, she gets her own way 
And if there's a ship that sails tonight 
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you

Well there was old Jerry Rooney, who was mad as a mule 
Spillblood Maloney had a head like one too 
That night on the bridge, with my shovel in hand 
Well he threatened to kill me, for sure he picked the wrong man

Cause Every Dog Has Its Day 
Like every woman, she gets her own way 
And if there's a ship that sails tonight 
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you

Well there was mutiny in Lagos, aboard the mean ship Skondi 
Ten or twelve days in prison, till the bastards set me free 
McCloskey you're free

Cause Every Dog Has Its Day 
Like every woman, she gets her own way 
And if there's a ship that sails tonight 
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you

Now I love the sea and she wants me back 
So I leave this ol' harbor, with the wind at my back 
Goodbye mother Theresa, I hope the kids settle down 
I must head for the Chinas, pray to God I don't drown

For Every Dog Has Its Day 
Like every woman, she gets her own way 
And if there's a ship that sails tonight 
I'll captain that too

Cause Every Dog Has Its Day 
Like every woman, she gets her own way 
And if there's a ship that sails tonight 
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you
