Cm                                A#
Ah, Tom is young and Tom is bold, Tom is as bold
as a knight of old.
        Cm                  A#
but whenever he gets into a bit of a jam,
         G
there's nothing
                     Cm
he won't 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 he's led,
     G                              Cm
and rolls himself a Harry Rag, and puts
himself to bed.

Ah, Tom's old ma is a dying lass
Soon they all reckon she'll be pushing up the grass
And her bones might ache and her
skin might sag
But still she's 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 she's led
And rolls herself a harry rag and puts herself
to bed

Ah, bless you tax man, bless you all
You may take some but you never take it all
But if I give it all, I won't feel sad
As long as I've 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 I've led
And roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed

Ah, the smart young ladies of the land
Can't 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'll light one up and they'll boast and brag
So content because they got a harry rag (Ay!)

Harry rag, harry rag
I'll do anything just to get a harry rag
And I curse myself for the life I've led
And roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed
