Video clip

Drinking black market vodka in the back of the scottsman's saloon
Then it's red meat and whiskey like a coyote drunk on the moon
Outside in oslo the buskers' all sing the same tune
And it's waltzin' matilda while the bagpipes play old clare de lune

She was a lady, she came down from bergen she said
She spoke little english, they laughed and drank whiskey instead
In the mornin' he found it, a rose with a note on his plate
It said, "meet me at midnight on the corner of st. olav's gate"

(repeat: x2)
Here's to the ladys you love and don't see again
The night is warm whiskey, the mornin's a cold bitter wind
The blue eyed madonna leaves town while the drunken man waits
Leaves him standing alone in the shadows of st. olav's gate
