Kishore Kumar Hits — Martin Carthy - Work Life Out to Keep Life In текст песни

Исполнитель: Martin Carthy

альбом: Essential

Oh the working man as you can see
That is what he was born to be
Married to the working wife
That is what she'll be all her life
Never lived beyond their means
Nor sought assistance from their friends
Yet day and night through thick and thin
They work life out just to keep life in
No matter friends whate'er befall
The poor folk they must work or fall
Through frost and snow through sleet and wind
They work life out just to keep life in
Do you see the women how make the gowns
For those in other parts of town
It's a picture sorrowful to see
And I'm sure with me you will agree
Meagre is our daily pay
To feed and clad a family with
She's overworked she's tired and thin
She works life out just to keep life in
No matter friends whate'er befall
The poor folk they must work or fall
Through frost and snow through sleet and wind
They work life out just to keep life in
Oh mischief mine where do you roam
When reason called you weren't at home
If you take cheese from off the rat
Is he then free to hunt the cat
If free from union's free from dues
Are you free from choice or free to choose
Or free as any birds blown by the wind
To work life out just to keep life in
No matter friends whate'er befall
The poor folk they must work or fall
Through frost and snow through sleet and wind
They work life out just to keep life in
