...ble wednesday night you've ever seen in your entire miserable rainy lives. Me and the lads were up at the forge, we went to play cards for money or boredom to wipe away the city dirt from our workin, stinkin, drinkin lives...
In for penny or in for a pound
the money was tight and the table was round
me and the lads, we played all night
til we won our money back all right
In a pub near Bishops gate
Mickey made himself a mate
Cordially invited him to join into the pot that night
The stranger joined
with the flick of a coin
and lost steady week by week
The strangers luck had almost changed
cause spending all his hard earned wage,
Mickey said he'd sell his soul to keep
Howard Street, near the Holy Well
We stepped out of the city and into the jaws of hell
Saw under his hat and into his eyes
We all played a hand with the devil
I swear i'm not telling you lies
Mickey talked of selling souls
The stranger laughed and shook our bones
Struck around the table
with a thud that sent the penny down
bending down to pick up the loot
i swear i saw a cloven foot
underneath the table
at the blacksmiths forge in this old town
The stranger joined
with the flick of a coin
and lost steady week by week
The strangers luck had almost changed
cause spending all his hard earned wage,
Mickey said he'd sell his soul to keep
Howard Street, near the Holy Well
We stepped out of the city and into the jaws of hell
Saw under his hat and into his eyes
We all played a hand with the devil
I swear i'm not telling you lies
We ran through the streets, through Mulligan's farm
And in the gas light we saw mickeys arm
Fingerprints of a rotten heart
that took all our money and drove us to part
In the night sky of the town
We saw the flames that tore The Forge down
Second fire we saw up there that finished the game
and poisoned the Derry Air
Howard Street, near the Holy Well
We stepped out of the city and into the jaws of hell
Saw under his hat and into his eyes
We all played a hand with the devil
I swear i'm not telling you lies
