Heard of a land held by a troubled hand
|
Where the whisky runs cold
|
Don't you dare go ask the newsman ¡®cause he'll tell you everything
|
He don't know
|
|
She was a child of the second American Revolution
|
Tall girl with a stone's constitution
|
When fell into the hands of the enemy
|
She touched her hand and sank her ankles deep
|
|
So go riddle me over
|
I'm a man got nothing to show for
|
My work in the ground
|
In this here London town
|
|
So go riddle me over
|
I'm a man got nothing to show for
|
My work in the ground
|
Got my back to the fire but it ain't the bridges that are falling down
|
|
Ophelia used to swim in the rain
|
Ain't nothing she'd rather do
|
I was beside myself when the news had came
|
And it had nothing to do with you
|
|
They said they would never fight no more
|
After the day she went away
|
What in the world are we all asking for?
|
If we don't give he's sure to take
|
|
So go n' riddle me over
|
I'm a man got nothing to show for
|
My work in the ground
|
In this here London town
|
|
So go n' riddle me over
|
I'm a man got nothing to show for
|
My work in the ground
|
Got my back to the fire and my feet on the ground
|
But it ain't the bridges that are falling
|
|
Go n' riddle me over
|
I'm a man got nothing to show for
|
My work in the ground
|
Go ahead and go and riddle me over
|
But it ain't the bridges that are falling down ¡¿5
