Paddy Goes To Holyhead - Turn Me Down lyrics

When I was younger I learned a trade I worked long hours and I was poorly paid Then I was 20 and I met my wife A working cla** hero I was ready for life [chorus:] The times are hard and the wages low As I went out it was time to go Run all over the land run all over the town Everywhere I go they would turn me down The kids came along, two girls and two boys Our cottage was full of living and noise I worked for the bossman from early to late I was made foreman and I thought it was great [chorus] The factory′s closing the well has run dry No money to live, no money to die The work has been cut to four hours a day It′s so hard to leave but it′s harder to stay [chorus]
