Lullaby Of London (The Janice Long Show) [November 1986] - The Pogues

As I walked down by the riverside

One evening in the spring

Heard a long-gone song from days gone by Blowing in on the great north wind

Though there is no lonesome corncrake’s cry

Of sorrow and delight

You can hear the cars and the shouts from bars

And the laughter and the fights

May the ghosts that howled 'round the house at night

Never keep you from your sleep

May they all sleep tight down in hell tonight

Or wherever they may be As I walked on with a heavy heart

Then a stone danced on the tide

And the song went on though the lights were gone

And the north wind gently sighed

And an evening breeze coming from the east

That kissed the riverside

So I pray now, child, that you sleep tonight

When you hear this lullaby

May the wind that blows from haunted graves

Never bring you misery

May the angels bright watch you tonight

And keep you while you sleep
