Ishmael & Maggie - The Trews

Hello my name is Ishmael

Forget the one about the whale

I'll tell you of a broken-hearted sailor

Maggie took my loyalty,

I treated her like royalty

What starts out with such promise ends in failure

Oh my love I can't stand to be alone

But I been drinkin' too much

I better go home

And I think here I'm better of alone

But I been thinking too much

I better go home

All hail the Queen of cruelty

She has duty been anointed

These final word "her majesty" had to say

"He who expects nothing never will be disappointed"

Nothing's what she left me so I guess i'm OK

Oh my love I can't stand to be alone

But I been drinkin' too much

I better go home

And I think here we all stand alone

But I been thinking too much

I better go home

Lie lie lie lie lie

Lie lie lie lie lie

A promise made to a tab unpaid

It's home I wade to my bed unmade

A fool to think that I could ever change her

A king upon my barstool throne

I vow to never drink alone

I only drink with friends or total strangers

We're all broken hearted here

We're all broken hearted here

We're all broken hearted here

We're all broken

Oh my love I can't stand to be alone

But I been drinkin' too much

I better go home

And I think here we all stand alone

But I been thinking too much

I better go home

I better go home
