lyrics

When things go wrong but will not go right
Though you do the best you can
When life seems dark as the hour of night
Well a pint of plain is your only man

When money’s tight and is hard to get
And your horse has also ran
And all you have is a heap of debt
Well a pint of plain is your only man

(I think we’ll make it)
(I think we’ll do just what we can)
(A quiet searching)
(Go find the child in Bethlehem)

Your health is bad And your heart feels strange
(Pull back the curtains)
And your face is pale and wan
(And let the winter light come in)
And the doctor says that you need a change
(An advent morning)
Well a pint of plain is your only man
(The humble child adoring)

In times of trouble and lousy strife
(The wolf with the lamb)
Though you’ve still a darling plan
(The leopard lying with the goat)
You still can turn to a better life
(The calf and lion)
(And a little child will lead them)
