goldwatch blues
Singer:fiddler's green
i went up for my interview on the fourth day of july
personnel man he questioned me until i nearly cried
about the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousin's queer
he asked me how many jobs i had before
he nearly had a heart attack when i answered: four
four jobs in twenty years
who'll work until they die
he said here's you goldwatch and the shackles for your chain
and your piece of paper to say you left here sane
just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for fifty years
he took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line
this is where we bury them in quick stones and in line
if you come to work for us
that if you're going to die
please do it during tea break
he said here's you goldwatch and the shackles for your chain
and your piece of paper to say you left here sane
just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for fifty years
this story that you've heard
you may think rather queer
you'll be surprised to hear
i did not want no job upon the board
i just wanted to take the brooms
and sweep the bloody floor
he said here's you goldwatch and the shackles for your chain
and your piece of paper to say you left here sane
just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for fifty years
