lyrics

1 2 3 4, count to 10 then head for shore
I can’t stand it any more, I’m a dirty bare-arsed rascal.

7 8 9 10, close your eyes then count again
Life goes on it’s just a game, I’m a dirty bare-arsed rascal.

Ain’t got no shoes, ain’t got no coat
Ain’t got no name, ain’t got no vote
Ain’t got no silver, ain’t got no gold
I love you darling, I’ve got to go, away

A B C D, I can talk but I can’t read
So I’m heading back to sea, I’m a dirty bare-arsed rascal.

E F G H, fire your guns, don’t have to wait
Do it now, it’s not too late, I’m a dirty bare-arsed rascal.

Ain’t got no shoes, ain’t got no coat ….

Haul away the ropes my boys, haul away, haul away
Haul away the ropes my boys, haul away, home

Green, blue, yellow, red, Fire is laid, kids are fed
And she lies naked in my bed, I’m a dirty bare-arsed rascal.

Earth, Air, Fire, Water, she knows things that no one taught her
Maybe she’s the devil’s daughter, I’m a dirty bare-arsed rascal.

Ain’t got no shoes, ain’t got no coat ….

Matthew, Mark, Luke & John, good men all, I’ve done them wrong
I’ll offer up a Christian song, I’m a dirty bare-arsed rascal.

Devil damns and Jesus saves, I’ll get on my knees and pray
I can’t wait ‘til judgement day, I’m a dirty bare-arsed rascal.

Ain’t got no shoes, ain’t got no coat ….

Haul away the ropes my boys, haul away, haul away

about

EJAB Derby, UK

EJAB (The Elbow Jake Acoustic Band) are a 4 piece band based near Derby.
There Are No Miracles Around Here is our first album.
We take our influences from artists such as Neil Young, John Hiatt & Mumford & Sons.
The album was originally recorded using only acoustic instruments but gradually some effects, a hammond organ and even a theremin appeared on it.
We really hope you enjoy it.
