HARRY (DON'T GO)    

Ralph McTell

If Harry go back to Guyana
Some of the ladies will surely cry
If Harry go back to Guyana
Some of the ladies will surely cry.

They say don't go
Don't go Guyana
Don't listen to them
That may be telling you to
Hey don't go
Don't go Guyana
Cos what would them old ones 
What will them old folks
What will them old ones do?

Whose strong arms would carry them down
To the bathroom and slip off their dressing gown?
Whose warm voice would soothe their fears?
A little tea and sympathy in the fading years.

Don't you go
Don't go Guyana
Don't listen to them
That may be telling you to
Hey don't go
Don't go Guyana
Cos what would them old ones 
What will them old folks
What will them old ones do?

If Harry go back to Guyana
There'll be silence in the old mens' room
If Harry go back to Guyana
There'll be silence in the old mens' room.

They say don't go
Don't go Guyana
Tuna fish boats
May be calling you home
Hey don't go
Don't go Guyana
Cos what would them old ones 
What will them old folks
What will them old ones do?

Who is it turning the old men on
He give them something to smoke
With their old Holborn
Who is it telling them romantic lies?
Put a little spark back into tired old eyes.

They say don't go
Don't go Guyana
Don't listen to them
That may be telling you to
Hey don't go
Don't go Guyana
Cos what would them old ones 
What will them old folks
What will them old ones do?
