These days a smile costs more than a frown
Everybody's got an opinion or an axe to be ground
Oh-oh Woh-oh-oh
You give me, are giving me a reason to die

They woke me at night from my hard-earned rest
The gin on their breath like a badge on their chest
They took me down river in the stray baggage boat
Along with the moon and a letter she wrote
She wrote the water was cool
And it brought back the chill
And the memory of her
And her boy in Brazil

Where was she now
Was she in Lanallu 
Was she back at the lodge 
Drinking gin with the crew
Oh-oh Woh-oh-oh
You give me, are giving me a reason to die

These days a smile costs more than a frown
Everybody's got an opinion or an axe to be ground
Oh-oh Woh-oh-oh
You give me, are giving me a reason to die
