June Tabor - Shipbuilding |
|
Is it worth it |
|
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife |
|
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday? |
|
It's just a rumor that was spread around town |
|
By the women and children |
|
Soon we'll be shipbuilding |
|
Well, I ask you, the boy said |
|
"Dad, they're going to take me to task but I'll be back by Christmas" |
|
It's just a rumor that was spread around town |
|
Somebody said that someone got filled in |
|
For saying that people get killed in the result of this shipbuilding |
|
With all the will in the world |
|
Diving for dear life when we could be diving for pearls |
|
It's just a rumor that was spread around town |
|
A telegram or a picture postcard |
|
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards |
|
And notifying the next of kin once again |
|
It's all we're skilled in, we will be shipbuilding |
|
With all the will in the world |
|
Diving for dear life when we could be diving for pearls |
|
With all the will in the world |
|
Diving for dear life |
