| 作曲 : Halsall, Patto | |
| Got word from home this morning it told a sorry tale indeed | |
| It was hard to bare the news about the family I broke right down and cried | |
| Last time I'd been home calling things were really looking fine | |
| It broke my heart to hear about the mess your in | |
| And now you've gone and moved | |
| Man came without a warning riding on a title deed | |
| He'd come back to tell them all they'd have to leave the land | |
| Didn't tell them why | |
| 20 years you worked the base line now you told you got to leave | |
| It ain't fair to ask a man to lay his living down | |
| His family got to eat | |
| You don't buy the government man | |
| My pa had took it bad | |
| He tried to make a one man stand | |
| Walked out alone and tried to fight | |
| My mama begged the government man to call off all his men | |
| If he promises not to take his life we'll be moved out of here by the dawn | |
| And you'll never, never see us no more | |
| God gives the good the answer working hard trying to be | |
| But its tough to see the other side getting rich and fat | |
| When you hardly make the pay | |
| Drained dry from working too hard you got to find another home | |
| It was hard to break the land and a crop to grow | |
| They never understand | |
| You don't buy the government man | |
| My pa had took it bad | |
| He tried to make a one man stand | |
| Walked out alone and tried to fight | |
| My mama begged the government man to call off all his men | |
| If he promises not to take his life we'll be moved out of here by the dawn | |
| And you'll never, never see us no more | |
| Government man got a heart of stone | |
| Run up the land and took away their home | |
| Going South, in the end I had to hit the road home | |
| You don't buy the government man | |
| My pa had took it bad | |
| He tried to make a one man stand | |
| Walked out alone and tried to fight | |
| My mama begged the government man to call off all his men | |
| If he promises not to take his life we'll be moved out of here by the dawn | |
| And you'll never, never see us no more |
