Ah, Tom will show and Tom will smoke

Tom is as bold as a knight of old
Cm A#
But whenever he gets into a bit of a jam
G Cm
Thereʼs nothing he wonʼt do to get a Harry Rag
Chorus:
Cm A#
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
Cm A#
And he curses himself for the life heʼs led
G
And rolls himself a Harry Rag
Cm Cm G Cm G Cm
And puts himself to bed
Ah, Tomʼs old ma is a dyinʼ lass
Soon they reckon sheʼll be pushinʼ up the grass
And her bones might take and her skin might sag
Still sheʼs got the strength to have a Harry Rag
Chorus:
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
And she curses herself for the life sheʼs led
And rolls herself a Harry Rag
And puts herself to bed
Ah, bless you taxman, bless you all
You may take some but youʼll never take it all
But if I give it all I wonʼt feel sad
As long as Iʼve got enough to buy a Harry Rag
Chorus:
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
And I curse myself for the life IAnd roll meself a Harry Rag
And put myself to bed
Ah, the smart young ladies of the land
Canʼt relax without a Harry in their hand
And they light one up and they boast and brag
So content because they got a Harry Rag
Chorus:
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
And they light one up and they boast and brag
So content because they got a Harry Rag
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! IAnd I curse myself for the life IAnd rolls meself
a Harry Rag
And puts meself to bed
