- St. Olav's Gate LyricsDrinking 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"
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus]
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

She spoke little English, they laughed and drank whiskey
instead
In the mornin' he found it... a rose with a note on his

Gate"
[Chorus:]
Here's to the ladys you love and don't see again
The night is warm whiskey... the mornin's a cold bitter

Leaves him standing alone in the shadows of St. Olav's
