Mrs. Bowen lives on Calvert Street
Keeps all them fellas under her thumb
She just lookin for some of that late night hanky panky
From any young stud that'll give her some
Oh and down there in Ol' Stoney City
All them oyster boys all covered in scum
They're crushing up all of that Oxy and Perc 20
All in the name of some fun
They're singing
Woah-oh-oh-oohhhh
Woah-oh-oh-oohhhh
Mr. Boyle serving out that rye whiskey
To pound net men just blowing off steam
They toss em back before they have to answer to Big Mama
If ya know what I mean
Down by the cliffs with all them bonfire babies
The hickory smoke will show you the way
They're gathered around bragging about hardly working
Yet they're all still getting paid
Fat stacks singing
Woah-oh-oh-oohhhh
Woah-oh-oh-oohhhh
All them people
Creepin around
They're snooping for their next fix
At the court house
Nestled downtown
The verdict is in for forty licks
I guess I have always been a roly-poly
Just rolling from town to town
Now whenever I roll into South County
Wanna burn every bridge down to the ground
So hoist up your sails boys
A storms is a brewing
The sky has turned a wicked black
You better cast off now son
For if you don't
There won't be no coming back - singin'
Woah-oh-oh-oohhhh
Woah-oh-oh-oohhhh
