The Sick Note - The Dubliners[00:00:00]

Dear Sir I write this note to you[00:00:09]

To tell you of me plight[00:00:11]

And at the time of writing [00:00:14]

I am not a pretty sight;[00:00:15]

My body is all black and blue [00:00:17]

My face a deathly gray[00:00:20]

And I write this note to say[00:00:22]

Why Paddy's not at work today [00:00:25]

While working on the fourteenth floor[00:00:28]

Some bricks I had to clear;[00:00:31]

Now to throw them down from[00:00:33]

Such a height was not a good idea [00:00:34]

The foreman wasn't very pleased [00:00:37]

He beeing an awkward sod[00:00:39]

He said I'd have to cart them down[00:00:41]

The ladders in me hod [00:00:43]

Now clearing all these bricks[00:00:46]

By hand it was so very slow [00:00:48]

So I hoisted up a barrel[00:00:51]

And secured the rope below [00:00:53]

But in me haste to do the job[00:00:55]

I was to blind to see[00:00:58]

That a barrelful of building bricks[00:01:00]

Was heavier than me [00:01:02]

So when I untied the rope[00:01:06]

The barrel fell like lead[00:01:07]

And clinging tightly to the rope[00:01:09]

I started up instead [00:01:11]

Well I shot up like a rocket[00:01:14]

Till to my dismay I found[00:01:16]

That halfway up[00:01:19]

I met the bloody barrel comming down [00:01:20]

Well the barrel broke me shoulder[00:01:24]

As to the ground it sped [00:01:26]

And when I reached the top[00:01:28]

I banged the pully with my head [00:01:30]

Well I clung on tight through numbed[00:01:33]

Shock from this almighty blow[00:01:35]

And the barrel spilled out half[00:01:38]

The bricks fourteen floors below [00:01:39]

Now when these bricks had fallen[00:01:43]

From the barrel to the floor[00:01:45]

I then outweighed the barrel and[00:01:48]

So started down once more;[00:01:50]

Still clinging tightly to the rope [00:01:53]

I sped towards the ground [00:01:55]

And I landed on the brocken bricks[00:01:57]

That were all scattered round [00:01:59]

Well I lay there groaning on the ground [00:02:02]

I thougth I'd passed the worst [00:02:05]

When the barrel hit the pully-wheel[00:02:08]

And then the bottom burst [00:02:10]

Well a shower of bricks rained down on me [00:02:12]

I hadn't got a hope[00:02:15]

As I lay there moaning on the ground [00:02:17]

I let go of the bloody rope [00:02:21]

The barrel than being heavier [00:02:24]

It started down once more [00:02:26]

And landed right across me [00:02:28]

As I lay upon the floor [00:02:30]

Well it broke three ribs[00:02:34]

And my left arm and I can only say[00:02:35]

That I hope you'll understand[00:02:40]

Why Paddy's not at work today[00:02:42]
