《Father’s Grave》歌词

[00:00:01] Father's Grave - The Clancy Brothers

[00:00:02] They're moving father's grave to build a sewer

[00:00:09] They're moving him regardless of expense

[00:00:15] They've dug up his remains to lay down nine-inch drains

[00:00:20] To irrigate some posh bloke's residence

[00:00:27] Now what's the use of having a religion

[00:00:32] If when you're dead your troubles never cease

[00:00:36] 'Cause some society chap wants a pipeline to his john

[00:00:42] And moves you from your place of rest and peace

[00:00:49] Now in his lifetime father never was a quitter

[00:00:54] And I'm sure that he won't be a quitter now

[00:00:58] And in his winding sheet he will haunt that privy seat

[00:01:04] And only let them go when he'll allow

[00:01:11] Now won't there be some bloomin' consternation

[00:01:16] And won't those city toffs begin to rave

[00:01:21] But it's no more than they deserve for havin' the bleedin' nerve

[00:01:25] To muck about with a British workman's grave
