Текст песни Choppin' Wood - Van Morrison

You wired the trains and went back home to St. Claire Shores
'Fore you became a spark down at the yard
You were passin' through those hungry years alone
Just tryin' to make a livin' out in Detroit

Came back off the boats, you didn't wanna go nowhere
Sit down to TV in your favorite chair
Watch the big picture fade down at Harland and Wolff
But you still kept on choppin' wood

Came back home to Belfast
You could be with us like
You were workin' hard overtime at the yard
Mornin', noon, and night

Spark was there and you really did care
Did the best you could
Sent for us one time everything fell through
Had to keep on choppin' wood, chop, chop, chop

Came back home to Belfast
You could be with us like
You were workin' hard overtime at the yard
Mornin', noon, and night

Spark was there and you really did care
Kept on diggin' that jazz
Bechet, Armstrong, Jelly Roll
And all that Dixieland

Choppin' wood
Everything got hard
Workin' down at the yard
Down at Harland and Wolff
Had to keep on choppin' wood
Down at Harland and Wolff

Down at Harland and Wolff
