Paul Kelly - Song Of The Old Rake Lyrics
Pretty child, come here to me
And listen to my story
Won’t you sit down on my knee
Your eyes are like your mother’s
And you mother’s mother’s
All them girls I used to love
By the fire, all alone, I sit dreaming of
All them girls I used to hold
I made their love turn cold
These old bones are aching
These old hands are shaking
Lord, I can’t see the page
Sing me the song I taught you
Fetch my wine and water
All them girls I used to know
Like a fool acting smart I let them go
All them girls, long time gone
I lost them one by one
All them girls with their creamy skin
What I’d give just to have one in my arms again
Oh, my girl, when you start to play
Don’t give your heart away
All them girls I used to kiss
I don’t know how my days all came down to this
All them girls I used to hold
I made their love turn cold

Paul Kelly Song Of The Old Rake Comments
This video cracks me up every time. The song about the old garden rake....ha!
Paul Kelly is Australia through and through, no more no less!!
I would have been just like that girl shaking hands with Paul and not wanting to let go !!!
I play footy with him, and I've seen that a couple of times.
Who the fuck is that slimy dj...I felt like throwing up!
It's a send-up. I got a kick out of it. The fact he got that response from you just confirms how well he did that DJ bit.
Australia's poet laureate
ahhaah great clip.
The video was excellent Clueless DJ and the Bear looking in the window.Plus i really loved that sound. Never heard of this Guy. he is going in my favorites list.
Paul Kelly is the number one Australian song writer, check catelogue he is brilliant.
OMG i hope you have looked up his old stuff.
Hes the best.
Pauls best!
It's a far cry from back in the '80s, where it was nigh impossible for we Statesiders to get PK vids - or any info at all, really!
Love 0:51 - 0:56.
Fantastic moment, PK.
Love it!!! ;-D
