Paddy Reilly feat. Phil Calary, Jerry Cullen & Fran McPhail - Working Man Lyrics

Lyrics Working Man - Paddy Reilly feat. Phil Calary, Jerry Cullen & Fran McPhail



It's a working man I am and I've been down underground
And I swear to God if I ever see the sun
Over any length of time I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down underground
At the age of sixteen years oh he quarreled with his peers
Who vowed they'd never see another one
In the dark recess of the mines where you age before your time
And the coal dust lies heavy on your lungs
It's a working man I am and I've been down underground
And I swear to God if I ever see the sun
Over any length of time I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down underground
At the age of sixty-four he will greet you at the door
And he will gently lead you by the arm
Through the dark recess of the mines he will take you back in time
He will tell you all the hardships that were had
It's a working man I am and I've been down underground
And I swear to God if I ever see the sun
Over any length of time I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down underground
It's a working man I am and I've been down underground
And I swear to God if I ever see the sun
Over any length of time I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down underground
God I never again will go down underground
