oysterband - gaol song lyrics
[verse 1]
step in young man, i know your face
it’s nothing in your favour
a little time i’ll give to you
six months unto hard labour
[chorus]
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
[verse 2]
at six o’clock our gaoler comes in
with a bunch of keys all in his hand
come my lads, step up and grind
tread that wheel till breakfast time
[chorus]
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
[verse 3]
at eight o’clock our sk!lly comes in
it’s sometimes thick and it’s sometimеs thin
devil of a word we must not say
or it’s bread and watеr all next day
[chorus]
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
[verse 4]
at half past eight the bell does ring
into the chapel we must swing
down on bended knees to fall
o lord have mercy on us all
[chorus]
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
[instrumental break]
[verse 5]
oh, at nine o’clock the jangle rings
all on the trap, boys, we must spring
come my lads, step up in time
the wheel to tread and the corn to grind
[chorus]
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
[verse 6]
sat_rday’s come i’m sorry to say
and sunday’s our starvation day
our hobnail boots, tin mugs too
they are not shined, they will not do
[bridge]
when six long months are over and past
i will return to my bonny lass
i’ll leave the gaolers all behind
the wheel to tread and the corn to grind
[chorus]
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
to me hip, to me hip
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
to me hip, to me hip
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
to me hip fol the day, hip fol the day
to me hip fol the day fol the digee_o
