There's a Gypsy King down the back of Old Dog
Who sings rhyme and rhythm while shooting on the bog
He wears a mottled green coat, and his national service boots
They say he played Russian Roulette as a young recruit

He's no wintered heart, gaspers stoke his brown soul
Yea he plays for the needle and a Celtic goal
Just an old crackhead, they see him as a ghost
A wandering minstrel who should'a head on down the coast

He sings that 'I don't know what tomorrow knows
But I know my best days are long long gone yea'
'I don't know what the future holds
But I know all my friends are long long gone yea'

He rhymes and he sings, he scuffles and fights
Yea he's pushing eighty closer to them final lights
The glory is over, and the end is nigh
But he ain't really bothered there's kingship in his eye

He's seen it all before, blood, tears and sweat
Yea for he was your king if you owed him a debt
While his mind fades away, oh his heart stays strong
But you can see a face of pain when he sings you his song

He sings that 'I don't know what tomorrow knows
But I know my best days are long long gone yea'
'I don't know what the future holds
But I know all my friends are long long gone yea'

No sceptre nor orb nor televised abbey
For this Gypsy King looks a little scraggy
He will die alone, no doubt in the Old Dog
But he'll have laughed and cheered and sung
Yea he'll have laughed and cheered and sung
Yea he'll have laughed and cheered and sung
And we'll have sung along

He sings that 'I don't know what tomorrow knows
But I know my best days are long long gone yea'
'I don't know what the future holds
But I know all my friends are long long gone yea'

'I don't know what tomorrow knows
But I know my best days are long long gone yea'
'I don't know what the future holds
But I know all my friends are long long gone yea'
