River of Grog

Mark Knopfler

[Verse 1]
By day I sell them my soul
I work like a mole
Under the shop
By night I'll drink in the cold hole
Or down in the nine-foot drop

[Pre-Chorus]
By day I'm a company mule
The wage-slaving fool
They chain up like a dog

[Chorus]
By night I'll be sailing away on my stool
On a river of grog
A river of grog

[Verse 2]
Two drinks in my line of my sight
But that can't be right
I know it's untrue
I'm seeing double tonight
But there can only be one of you

[Pre-Chorus]
I've loaded my pockets with stones
To bury my bones
In the mud of the bog

[Chorus]
So let me go sailing away on my own
On a river of grog
A river of grog

[Bridge]
If you miss me when I go
It's been a barrel of fun
I'm gonna miss you when I go
But down in this bottle
There's a song for me waiting I know

[Pre-Chorus]
I've loaded my pockets with stones
To bury my bones
In the mud of the bog

[Chorus]
So let me go sailing away on my own
On a river of grog
A river of grog
River of grog
