David Francey - Gypsy boys

Times down here they was ^Ahard as life Ice on the frozen ^Driver And the promises made by the ^Amen in grey They seem to be de^Dlivered

^GDeaken and me we were ^Cmarking ^Gtime In the ^Dranks of the unem^Gployed When they ^Dhired us on for a ^Aweek or so To work with the Gypsy ^DBoys, oh ^{A D}

Well, the factory closed down ^Ayesterday The textiles' turn to^Dmorrow Say what you will, but ^Adown this way One goes, the other ^Dfollows

So it's ^Gup you riggers, up you ^Criggers ^Ggo While your ^Dchains around, re^Gjoice 'Cause they ^Dhired us on for a ^Aweek or so To work with the Gypsy ^DBoys

Well, the lights come up and the ^Acrowd goes home And they're bringing the stage-hand ^Ddown And we're paid our wages and the ^Aloading's over We're gone to another ^Dtown

And from ^GPennsylvania in the ^Cgreat North ^GWest From ^DChampagne, Illi^Gnois Well, they've ^Dhired us on for a ^Aweek or so To work with the Gypsy ^DBoys, oh

For they're ^Gcalling the towns, tipping ^Call a^Gshore All ^Dlights and fire and ^Gnoise And they've ^Dhired us on for a ^Aweek or so To work with the Gypsy ^DBoys ^{A D}
