Work Life out to Keep Life In文本歌词

作曲 : Carthy Martin

Oh the working man as you can see

That is what he was born to be

Married to the working wife

That is what she'll be all her life

Never lived beyond their means

Nor sought assistance from their friends

Yet day and night through thick and thin

They work life out just to keep life in

No matter friends whate'er befall

The poor folk they must work or fall

Through frost and snow through sleet and wind

They work life out just to keep life in

Do you see the women how make the gowns

For those in other parts of town

It's a picture sorrowful to see

And I'm sure with me you will agree

Meagre is our daily pay

To feed and clad a family with

She's overworked she's tired and thin

She works life out just to keep life in

No matter friends whate'er befall

The poor folk they must work or fall

Through frost and snow through sleet and wind

They work life out just to keep life in

Oh mischief mine where do you roam

When reason called you weren't at home

If you take cheese from off the rat

Is he then free to hunt the cat

If free from union's free from dues

Are you free from choice or free to choose

Or free as any birds blown by the wind

To work life out just to keep life in

No matter friends whate'er befall

The poor folk they must work or fall

Through frost and snow through sleet and wind

They work life out just to keep life in

Work Life out to Keep Life InLRC歌词
