ballad of a working man lyrics
[verse 1]
i left the land to try and earn me pay
they say there’s work in lancashire today
i’ve tore me hands and i’ve broke me back
pumping cotton and toting sacks
but i’ve not seen much of gold or silver coin
[chorus]
hey, hey, a working day
fourteen hours to earn your pay
hey, hey, a working day
cotton and coal and steam
[verse 2]
from preston, bolton, oldham and by colne
i’ve tramped the roads and never been alone
i’ve seen men die in falls of stone
and watched men starve to skin and bone
in england’s pure and green and pleasant land
[chorus]
hey, hey, a working day
fourteen hours to earn your pay
hey, hey, a working day
cotton and coal and steam
[verse 3]
there are looms i know that are just never still
with men to work all hours to earn their fill
with women grafting and children too
to earn enough to see them through
while their masters they get richer everyday
[chorus]
hey, hey, a working day
fourteen hours to earn your pay
hey, hey, a working day
cotton and coal and steam
[verse 4]
i’ve worked and mined and ducked for waur thee coal
i’ve followed the rails and burrowed like a mole
i’m a weaver, miner, a workin’ man
i’ll turn me hand to owt i can
for a lad must earn himself a living wage
[chorus]
hey, hey, a working day
fourteen hours to earn your pay
hey, hey, a working day
cotton and coal and steam
[verse 5]
i’ve eyed the girls and courted with the best
i’ve drunk me ale and idled with the rest
but i’ll always work and i’ll always strive
to try and keep meself alive
but i’d rather be rich and watch the world go by
[chorus]
hey, hey, a working day
fourteen hours to earn your pay
hey, hey, a working day
cotton and coal and steam
[chorus]
hey, hey, a working day
fourteen hours to earn your pay
hey, hey, a working day
cotton and coal and steam
