lyrics

If you go down to the docks tonight
You'd better go prepared
The workers they are hungry men
They're teeth are sharp and bared
You stripped them of their means to live
Like they didn't have a right
So write your speech before you leave
Down to the docks tonight

If you go down to the docks tonight
Then wear a good disguise
It's certain you will come to harm
If you are recognised
Your pictures on the bar room wall
Complete with a kitchen knife
So take your hat, wear your coat collar high
If you go down to the docks tonight

If you go down to the docks tonight
Its surely suicide
But they'll soon find out just where you live
Then there'll be no place to hide
So take your pick, here or there
In darkness or in light
Will you take a walk with fate
Down to the docks tonight

If you go down to the docks tonight
You could take back what you stole
Give them back what they have earned
Could save your crooked soul
But if they smell another lie
Wont be a pretty sight
Fish will feed on a fat cats flesh
Down at the docks tonight.
