When I was younger I learned a trade | |
I worked long hours and I was poorly paid | |
Then I was 20 and I met my wife | |
A working class hero I was ready for life | |
[chorus:] | |
The times are hard and the wages low | |
As I went out it was time to go | |
Run all over the land run all over the town | |
Everywhere I go they would turn me down | |
The kids came along, two girls and two boys | |
Our cottage was full of living and noise | |
I worked for the bossman from early to late | |
I was made foreman and I thought it was great | |
[chorus] | |
The factory′s closing the well has run dry | |
No money to live, no money to die | |
The work has been cut to four hours a day | |
It′s so hard to leave but it′s harder to stay | |
