Raise me in your arms my brother
Let me see the glory sun
I am very faint and dying
Is the battle lost or won?
Goodbye old boots, for ever more
My booting days, will soon be o'er
I've had a good time, and it wouldn't agree
You see these boots, are killing me
Once I loved, a fair young maiden
And I thought that she loved me
Then some dark eyed boy betrayed her
And she turn her back on me
When I sleep I dream about you
When I wake I see no rest
Every moment seem like an hour
Oh it pains here in my breast
Goodbye old boots, forever more
My booting days, will soon be o'er
I've had a good time and it wouldn't agree
You see these boots, are killing me
She whispered low: 'My sweetie pie,
Let's have another go on the merry-go-ride'
'I¨ve had a good time, but it wouldn't agree
You see these boots, are killing me'
