Loanshark Blues - Rory Gallagher

Give me 'til Monday, that’s only a day or two

Give me til Monday, that’s only a day or two

I’ll pay you back with interest the last thing that I do

I’ll pay you back with interest the last thing that I do

Yeah, yeah

Give me 'til Monday, that’s only a day away

Give me 'til Monday, that’s only a day away

I’m down on my knees, got one foot in the grave

Down on my knees, got one foot in the grave

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Got the loanshark blues

Got the loanshark blues

Give me an offer I can’t refuse

Wife needs shoes, the kids must eat

Feel so cold, I can’t feel my feet

Can’t get my hands on one thin dime

I’m gonna turn to a life of crime

No work here, so I walk the street

Sign on the door, I feel I’m beat

I know you run Pier 15

You got a grip on all my dreams

I got the loanshark blues

The loanshark blues

Give me a number I can’t refuse, yeah

Give me 'til Monday, that’s only a day or two

Give me 'til Monday that’s only a day or two

I’ll pay you back with interest the last thing that I do

Pay you back with interest the last thing that I do

Yeah

Got the loanshark blues

Got the loanshark blues

Give me a number I can’t refuse, yeah

Roofs got holes, see the sky

I can’t get straight and I have tried

I’m in your debt, I’m well aware

I’ll break the law cause I don’t care

Living on a knife edge I have been

But I’m too tough to just give in

Moving on down with the Longshore men

On the docks we’re locked out again

I got the loanshark blues

The loanshark blues

Give me a number I can’t refuse

I got the loanshark blues

Got the loanshark blues

Give me a number I can’t refuse, yeah, yeah

Loanshark babe
