Work Life out to Keep Life In

演唱者:Martin Carthy

专辑:Essential

    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
