Lyrics

Why Don't You Do Right

A-one, two, a-one, two, three...

You had plenty money in nineteen forty-one

You laughed at all the men, were you one?

Why don't you do right like some other men do?

Get out of here, get me some money too

You're sittin' down wonderin' what it's all about

You ain't got no money, they will put you out

Why don't you do right like some other men do?

Just get out of here and get me some money too

If you had prepared twenty years ago

You wouldn't be wanderin' now from door to door

Why don't you do right like some other men do?

Get out of here and get me some money too

Why don't you do right like some other men do?

Like some other men do

Like some other men do

Like some other men do

The cover carries personal weight through Nash's dual British-Irish heritage. And a tin whistle.
