作词 : Hannon | |
I packed up my suitcase and left the old farm | |
I promised my papa I'd come to no harm | |
And I went to the city where I was employed | |
In a firm of accountants as an office boy. | |
I fetched and I carried, I watched and I learned | |
And slowly but surely I rose through the firm. | |
But then I discovered my colleagues one day | |
Massaging the figures for personal gain | |
I said "I'll not wallow in this house of shame" | |
I'll plough my own furrow, I'll go my own way. | |
Gravely I listened to Reverend McBride | |
Down at the mission house each Friday night. | |
Heavenís salvation for those who know best, | |
Hell and damnation for all of the rest. | |
Try as I might I could not understand | |
Why The Almighty's all-merciful hand | |
Should cast away those whose only mistake | |
Was never to know the Christian faith | |
The stars that we follow can lead us astray | |
I'll plough my own furrow, I'll go my own way | |
I fled from the capitalís bourgeois malaise | |
And trekked through the wilderness for fourteen days | |
'Til I found the guerillas camped high in the hills | |
I asked Comrade Diaz whom I should kill. | |
I crept into town with a knife in my teeth | |
And entered the home of the Chief of Police | |
I stood at his bedside and raised up my blade | |
But then I looked to the crib where his little one lay | |
You murder tomorrow by killing today | |
I'll plough my own furrow, I'll go my own way. |
