[00:00.000]	作曲 : Mike Quirke
[00:00.586]	Say mate, have you seen the mills where the kids
[00:03.431]	at the loom spit blood?
[00:05.712]	Have you been in the mine when the fire-damp blew?
[00:07.988]	Shipped as a hand with a freighter's crew
[00:09.700]	or worked in a levy flood?
[00:12.270]	Have you rotted wet in a grazing camp or scorched
[00:14.272]	in a desert line?
[00:16.268]	Have you done your night stint with your lamp,
[00:17.978]	watching the timbers drip with damp
[00:20.257]	or hear the oil rig whine?
[00:23.768]	Have you had your pay held back for tools
[00:25.162]	you never saw or could use?
[00:27.135]	Have you gone like a fool with the other fools
[00:29.381]	to the bosses saloon where the strong arm rules
[00:33.028]	and cashed your time for booze?
[00:36.120]	I do no kicking at god or fate.
[00:38.357]	I keep my shoes for the road.
[00:40.602]	The long, grey road, and I love it, mate,
[00:43.403]	hay-foot, straw-foot, that's my gait,
[00:45.363]	and I carry no other man's load.
[00:47.325]	I don't mind working to earn my bread
[00:49.286]	and I'd just as soon keep straight,
[00:51.532]	But just like the preacher man said, I'm a ram
[00:53.775]	and I've missed the gate.
[00:55.460]	But I'm jogging along, jogging ahead,
[00:58.551]	perhaps I'll find it, mate.
