Redundancy Blues - David McWilliams[00:00:00]
Written by:David McWilliams[00:00:00]
Through many a long year my table was full[00:00:18]
And among many others I was chosen[00:00:26]
To stand in the heat of the factory's hum[00:00:33]
While the others outside they stood frozen[00:00:41]
Yes my head it was empty my pockets was full[00:00:51]
And my hands and my fingers was itching[00:00:59]
And I laughed at the shadows that stood in the cold[00:01:06]
While I stood full warm in the kitchen[00:01:14]
All my children they laughed as they grew at my feet[00:01:25]
And my woman said she loved me dearly[00:01:33]
And my vision was blocked by the words from their mouths[00:01:40]
So that I couldn't see very clearly[00:01:48]
Ah but one day a man came to my factory[00:01:59]
Stood up and said this place is closing[00:02:07]
Said I'm sorry my friends we can't keep you here[00:02:14]
For far too much money we're losing[00:02:22]
Now the winter is here and my hands they are numb[00:02:34]
And for me every door says no entry[00:02:42]
There's no turf on the fire and my heart is so cold[00:02:48]
And my belly is always so empty[00:02:57]
Now my woman and children have left me alone[00:03:08]
And lower and lower I'm sinking[00:03:16]
There's no money left for me to take down[00:03:23]
To drown all my troubles in drinking[00:03:31]
