The next train arrives on here at five o nine
|
I'm standing where my daddy used to be
|
To follow his footsteps takes me three stops down the line
|
Down to the Ben Crawley Steel Company
|
|
Well I tried my hand at ranching but this didn't come off
|
Seems nothing in that for me
|
It always tried my patience which I haven't enough
|
I'm destined to work in a steel company
|
|
Just you wait at home for me little woman
|
By now I should know how lovely you will be
|
Waiting by the door for me little woman
|
Now I wont moan when I get home from the Ben Crawley Steel Company
|
|
When Crawley makes the jokes and four guys laugh a lot
|
Damn, force a grin if you can
|
I got so many words on the tip of my tongue to shoot him down
|
But he'd soon replace a mere steel driving man
|
|
Just you wait at home for me little woman
|
Although I know you won't be as tired as me
|
Waiting by the door for me little woman [my true lovin' woman]
|
Well I won't slack when I get back from the Ben Crawley Steel Company
|
|
Well I've had my fill and it's giving me hell, now it's time for hate
|
Thanks mister for telling me
|
So I'll shoot if I can and I won't [don't] give a damn about playing it
|
straight
|
My friends and the Lord know what he's done [he did] to me
|
|
He's being staying at home with my little woman
|
Playing in the fields where I should always be
|
It's hard to forgive my own little woman
|
And to find a job 'cos I just blew up that steel company
|
Heh!
