《Beat Of The Government Stroke》歌词

[00:00:01] I never was much at singin
[00:00:04] And I ain't a musical bloke
[00:00:07] But I play a mad pick and the Banjo
[00:00:10] To the beat of the government stroke
[00:00:13] To the beat of the government stroke
[00:00:16] I play my form called the tune
[00:00:19] And the rattle of gravel on the banjo blade
[00:00:23] Is all I hear till noon
[00:00:26] My head's down low my tail bone high
[00:00:29] Sweat runnin’ down my brow
[00:00:32] And a big yellow sign sayin' Men at work
[00:00:35] I show all the people how
[00:00:38] A council man he can swing a pick
[00:00:41] Or a shovel the whole day long
[00:00:44] Diggin' up drains ditches for
[00:00:47] A pittance an' a song
[00:00:50] And what does the local yokel say hey
[00:00:54] Look at the council man
[00:00:56] He never would work in an iron lung
[00:00:59] Or dirty his little hands
[00:01:02] Have-a-go ya sulky bloody mug I say
[00:01:05] But he give me the old thumbs up
[00:01:08] And then tears off like a greasy mug
[00:01:11] To find him another pub
[00:01:14] I'm fed to the teeth as there I stand
[00:01:17] In a typical council pose
[00:01:20] Leaning upon my ole banjo
[00:01:23] With the sweat running down my nose
[00:01:38] Oh I worked all day for an honest quid
[00:01:42] And this is the thanks I get
[00:01:45] What'll I do What are my rights
[00:01:48] I ask of the union rep
[00:01:51] So there we are with a hole in the road
[00:01:54] Traffic is piling up
[00:01:56] But the Billie boy he was doin' his bit
[00:02:00] And calling us for a cup
[00:02:03] So the ten of us and the foreman too
[00:02:06] And the man on the stop and go
[00:02:09] Downed our tools and we were joined
[00:02:12] By the bloke on the big back hoe
[00:02:14] And while the little old lady was a tooting her horn
[00:02:18] And the Truckie was a-jumpin' 'round
[00:02:21] We nibbled our bickies and we sipped our tea
[00:02:24] And we never even heard a sound
[00:02:27] Oh Sittin' at ease neath the bird that might fly
[00:02:30] Watchin' the world go by
[00:02:32] My mind went back to an earlier day
[00:02:35] When I never would'a thought that I
[00:02:39] Could play the mad mick and the banjo
[00:02:42] To the beat of the government stroke
[00:02:45] But like I said I never could sing
[00:02:47] And I ain't a musical bloke
[00:02:50] OhI never was much at singin'
[00:02:53] And I ain't a musical bloke
[00:02:56] But I play the mad mick and the banjo
[00:02:59] To the beat of the government the beat of the government
[00:03:03] The beat of the government stroke
