JUDGE IN THE MORNING

Music and lyrics by Brian Nelson

There I was one more time
staring at the walls of a prison cell
In the next one was my partner
they captured him as well

They said we drank too much
of this country's strongest Ale
though we hotly denied it
they threw us both in jail

~

For the judge in the mornin'
to be giving us a warning
oh what a world to be born in
when you've got to face the judge in the mornin'

~

Well every time we got drunk
trouble followed like a hungry skunk
for all our crimes we paid the price
but at the time you don't think twice

We played the bars and the sad cafes
suffered through hungover days
sang to the rhythm of a clincking glass
as if this one would be the last

~

For the judge in the mornin'
to be giving us a warning
Oh what a world to be born in
when you've got to face the judge in the mornin'

~

Well, it was all that we could do
to get ourselves a drink or two
We played and we sang till we were hoarse
if all the drinks were free of course

~

For the judge in the mornin'
to be giving us a warning
Oh what a world to be born in
when you've got to face the judge in the mornin'
