South Armagh 3 - Woke up this morning

You woke up this morning
Laundered some diesel,
Mama always said you'd never
Get the dye outta that!

She said: They can trace one part in a million
You're better trying chip fat oil,
But you were born under a bad sign,
Diesel - £1.30 a litre!

You woke up this morning
All the dye has gone.
Your Papa never told you,
About his time in Maghaberry Prison for laundering fuel!

But you're looking good, baby,
I believe you're burnin' fine, (shame about it),
Born under a bad sign,
Diesel - £1.30 a litre!

You woke up this morning,
Your world turned upside down.
Thing's ain't been the same,
Since the PSNI raided your farm!

They can trace one part in a million,
You've got that full 1000 gallon tank.
Born under a bad sign,
Diesel - £1.30 a litre!

When you woke up this morning everything you had was gone.
By half past ten your head was going ding-dong.
Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes,
Like a voice telling you there was some chemistry you should know.
Last night you were flying in your car but today you're so slow
- ain't it times like these that make you wonder if
You'll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to
The others; wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and Brothers.
Don't you wish you didn't function, wish you
Didn't think beyond the next paycheck (for your laundered diesel)
And the next little drink' for yer motor
Well you do so make up your mind to go across the boarder,
'Cos when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone!

When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
Mama said you'd never get the, the dye outta that!

When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
Laundered yourself some diesel!
