Story behind the song
wrote it...then decided Sonney should have a verse. Wrote that verse 6 years later. ...did I tell you I hate categorizing my songs! You tell me the genre.
Lyrics
Sonney Downe
Met her in a dark and lonely part of town
Met her in a dark and lonely Dublin Town
I needed warmth and she needed half a crown
I said I'm lost She said I knew it all along
For You me life, me life oh Sonney Downe
For You me life, me life oh Sonney Downe
Though I'm a sailor i won't be sailin' long
for what's gone is a life oh my dear Sonney Downe
Her name be Sonney she hold me in her arms
Her name be Sonney but she won't be holdin long
lay down yer money and sing me yer song
her lips were honey but they won't be kissin' long
(chorus)
My name be Sonney three hungry mouths to feed
My name be Sonney, Anything you need
For I had a Lover he sailed out to sea
To Davey Jones' Locker went He
(chorus)
This story's over yes be it right or wrong
This story's over yes I sang Her her song
and though I left Her I am never really gone
And from The Locker I still sing to her Our Song
(chorus) repeat last sentence, then
For what's gone is Me life Oh my Dear ...Sonney...Downe
