Lyrics Just A Note - Karan Casey

Just a note for the time is short, dear
Hard is the work and long the day
But my fond heart will be with you, Mary
Although you are many, many miles away

Kiss the children for me, Mary
Do not let them pine or grieve
Tell them I come working for them
How our home I had to leave

Building dams in the fields and the factories
Moving concrete by the load
Tell them I will be with you, Mary
When I am finished working on the road

Just a note for the time is short, dear
Hard is the work and long the day
But my fond heart will be with you, Mary
Although you are many, many miles away
Although you are many, many miles away
