Saw a man who was fifty-one
|
He bad married daughters and a single son
|
And he's lost his job as this years begun
|
And it broke my heart
|
Saw his wife who was fifty-two
|
She said she was sure they could make it through
|
That her single wage would just have to do
|
And it broke my heart
|
Talked about it with the family now
|
What began in sadness ended up a row
|
All the guys with the clever mouths
|
They were saying we should move south
|
Saw the son who's been gone two weeks
|
And he's down already with a job to seek
|
And he's in Kings Cross and theres no-one speaking
|
And it broke my heart.
