Work Life Out To Keep Life In - Martin Carthy[00:00:00]

Oh the working man as you can see[00:00:00]

That is what he was born to be[00:00:03]

Married to the working wife[00:00:07]

That is what she'll be all her life[00:00:10]

Never lived beyond their means[00:00:14]

Nor sought assistance from their friends[00:00:17]

Yet day and night through thick and thin[00:00:21]

They work life out just to keep life in[00:00:26]

No matter friends whate'er befall[00:00:32]

The poor folk they must work or fall[00:00:35]

Through frost and snow through sleet and wind[00:00:39]

They work life out just to keep life in[00:00:44]

Do you see the women how make the gowns[00:00:50]

For those in other parts of town[00:00:54]

It's a picture sorrowful to see[00:00:58]

And I'm sure with me you will agree[00:01:01]

Meagre is our daily pay[00:01:06]

To feed and clad a family with[00:01:09]

She's overworked she's tired and thin[00:01:13]

She works life out just to keep life in[00:01:18]

No matter friends whate'er befall[00:01:24]

The poor folk they must work or fall[00:01:27]

Through frost and snow through sleet and wind[00:01:31]

They work life out just to keep life in[00:01:36]

Oh mischief mine where do you roam[00:01:42]

When reason called you weren't at home[00:01:47]

If you take cheese from off the rat[00:01:51]

Is he then free to hunt the cat[00:01:54]

If free from union's free from dues[00:01:58]

Are you free from choice or free to choose[00:02:02]

Or free as any birds blown by the wind[00:02:06]

To work life out just to keep life in[00:02:11]

No matter friends whate'er befall[00:02:16]

The poor folk they must work or fall[00:02:19]

Through frost and snow through sleet and wind[00:02:24]

They work life out just to keep life in[00:02:29]
