[Verse 1]
Down my lover, down my child
Away my former beings
Forty seven times I've been denied the life been dealt
Down my lover, down my child
Away I fall away
Forty seven times I've been denied

[Verse 2]
Down my lover, down my child
Away my father, away my...
Fortune never shined it's eyes the life you brought to me
Down my body, down my sight
Away my former days
Forty seventeen, I've been alive

[Verse 3]
Down my lover, down my child
Away my former beings
Forty seven times I'm told to hand my bottles in
Down my lover, down my child
Away me for my bed
Forty seven times I'm told to hand my bottles in

[Verse 4]
Down my lover, down my child
Away my former beings
Forty seven times I'm told to hand my battles there
Down my lover, down my child
Away your former beings
It's wrong this side, away my child, away outside in laid
