Harry Dont Go by Ralph McTell Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1979

If Harry go back to Guyana
Some of the ladies will surely cry
If Harry go back to Guyana
Some of the ladies will surely cry

They say don't go
Don't go Guyana
Don't listen to them
That may be telling you to
Hey, don't go
Don't go Guyana
'Cause what would them old ones
What will them old folks
What will them old ones do?

Whose strong arms would carry them down
To the bathroom and slip off their dressing gown?
Whose warm voice would soothe their fears?
A little tea and sympathy in the fading years

And dDon't you go
Don't go Guyana
Don't listen to them
That may be telling you to
Hey, don't go
Don't go Guyana
'Cause what will them old ones
What will them old folks
What will them old ones do?
If Harry go back to Guyana
There'11 be silence in the old men's' room
If Harry go back to Guyana
There'll be silence in the old men's' room

And don't you go
Don't go Guyana
Tuna fish boats
May be calling you home
But don't go
Don't go Guyana
'Cause what will them old folks
What will them old folks
What will them old ones do?

Now, who is it turning the old men on
He give them something to smoke
With their old Holborn
Who is it telling them romantic lies?
Put a little spark back into tired old eyes

But don't you go
Don't go Guyana
Don't listen to them
That may be telling you to
Hey, don't go
Don't go Guyana
'Cause what would them old ones
What will them old folks
What will them old ones do?
