[Verse 1]
When things go wrong but will not go right
Though you do the best you can
When life seems dark as the hour of night
Well a pint of plain is your only man

[Chorus]
It's your only man, your only man
Well a pint of plain is your only man

[Verse 2]
When money is tight and hard to get
And your horse has also ran
And all you have is a heap of debt
Well a pint of plain is your only man

[Chorus]
It's your only man, your only man
Well a pint of plain is your only man

[Verse 3]
When your health is bad and your heart feels strange
And your face is pale and wan
And the doctor says that you need a change
Well a pint of plain is your only man
[Chorus]
It's your only man, your only man
Well a pint of plain is your only man

[Verse 4]
When food is scarce and the larder bare
And no rashers grease your pan
And hunger grows cause your meals are rare
Well a pint of plain is your only man

[Chorus]
It's your only man, your only man
Well a pint of plain is your only man

[Verse 5]
In times of trouble and lousey strife
Though you still have a darlint plan
You still can turn to a better life
For a pint of plain is your only man

[Outro]
It's your only man, your only man
Well a pint of plain is your only man
It's your only man, your only man
Well a pint of plain is your only man
It's your only man, your only man
Well a pint of plain is your only man
It's your only man, your only man
Well a pint of plain is your only man
