On a Bike In A Stormy Night

Tonight Will Be A Stormy Night

By Paul McCann

Tonight will be a stormy night and into the town we must go ,

Outside the wind is howling and its already starting to snow ,

The dog needs a bone , the pan needs some  lard

We’ve got no money for jam ,  God knows the times are getting  hard   .

No spread left for the bread and there’s no tay left in the pot .

I try to keep the place tidy but some things are better forgot .

The baby needs some milk , the fire  needs some coal

It’s a hard life without a wife  Dear God have mercy on her soul . 

Its hard to ride a bike you see with a baby upon your knee

and it’s a rocky old road over the hill  to the town far from me .

The night  is fast approaching and its time for us to go ,

There’s so much to do today and even more to do  tomorrow   .

I’d give it all up for sinners but I haven’t been to church for years ,

God knows how busy I am these days  and how time just disappears.

It’s hard to keep upright when  you’re riding through a storm in the night 

and everythings going  wrong .

Onwards I go with a a baby in my arm  .

Tonight will be a stormy night .

Tonight will be a stormy night.

Tonight will be a stormy night.
