HARRY

Ralph McTell

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

Chorus: They say don’t go
Don’t go to Guyana
Don’t listen to them
That may be telling you to
They say don’t go
Don’t go to Guyana
For what would them old ones 
What would them old folks
What would them old folks do?

1b 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.
2a If Harry go back to Guyana
There’ll be silence in the old men’sroom
If Harry go back to Guyana
There’ll be silence in the old men’s room.

Chorus

2b 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.
