[00:00.00] June Tabor - Shipbuilding
[00:13.23] Is it worth it
[00:17.53] A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
[00:25.16] And a bicycle on the boy's birthday?
[00:30.05]
[00:32.67] It's just a rumor that was spread around town
[00:38.32] By the women and children
[00:42.85] Soon we'll be shipbuilding
[00:47.52]
[00:51.44] Well, I ask you, the boy said
[00:56.10] "Dad, they're going to take me to task but I'll be back by Christmas"
[01:07.23]
[01:09.68] It's just a rumor that was spread around town
[01:14.81] Somebody said that someone got filled in
[01:19.69] For saying that people get killed in the result of this shipbuilding
[01:29.51]
[01:32.86] With all the will in the world
[01:38.11] Diving for dear life when we could be diving for pearls
[01:48.36]
[02:08.09] It's just a rumor that was spread around town
[02:13.95] A telegram or a picture postcard
[02:18.94] Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
[02:23.94] And notifying the next of kin once again
[02:32.55] It's all we're skilled in, we will be shipbuilding
[02:42.75]
[02:54.07] With all the will in the world
[02:59.31] Diving for dear life when we could be diving for pearls
[03:09.83]
[03:26.77] With all the will in the world
[03:32.59] Diving for dear life
[03:37.80]
