Gordon Bok - Cannery shed

^DI ^Gworked all my life in the cannery shed And ^Cif I'm ^Ddying or you ^Gthink I'm dead ^GDon't bury my bones, but put me instead In a ^Ccan in the ^Dcannery ^Gshed

^DThe ^Gcannery shed perches over the river Where the ^Cwinter winds ^Dblow, we ^Gfreeze and we shiver ^GWhen the boss comes around, I might have to give her My o^Cpinion of the ^Dcannery ^Gshed

^DI ^Gworked all my life in the cannery shed And ^Cif I'm ^Ddying or you ^Gthink I'm dead ^GDon't bury my bones, but put me instead In a ^Ccan in the ^Dcannery ^Gshed

^DWe ^Gchop off the heads and we chop off the tails ^CScoop out the ^Dguts and we ^Gthrow 'em in the pails ^GWe won't get a rest till the next schooner sails From the ^Cdock at the ^Dcannery ^Gsheds

^DI ^Gworked all my life in the cannery shed And ^Cif I'm ^Ddying or you ^Gthink I'm dead ^GDon't bury my bones, but put me instead In a ^Ccan in the ^Dcannery ^Gshed

^DThere's ^Gno time to talk and there's no time to linger ^CBetter move ^Dsharp or you ^Gmight lose a finger ^GIt'd turn your stomach if you knew everything That's been ^Ccanned in the ^Dcannery ^Gshed

^DI ^Gworked all my life in the cannery shed And ^Cif I'm ^Ddying or you ^Gthink I'm dead ^GDon't bury my bones, but put me instead In a ^Ccan in the ^Dcannery ^Gshed

^DNow, La ^GFaye went away and he wrote me a letter I ^Ctucked it up ^Dhigh in the ^Gsleeve of my sweater ^GI slipped and it fell and it ended in the shredder Got ^Ccanned in the ^Dcannery ^Gshed

^DI ^Gworked all my life in the cannery shed And ^Cif I'm ^Ddying or you ^Gthink I'm dead ^GDon't bury my bones, but put me instead In a ^Ccan in the ^Dcannery ^Gshed

^DNow, the ^Gcannery boy, he's a very happy fella If he ^Cgets him a ^Dgirl from the ^Gtown of Stella ^GI would if I could, but I'm not going to tell ya What goes ^Con behind the ^Dcannery ^Gshed

^DI ^Gworked all my life in the cannery shed And ^Cif I'm ^Ddying or you ^Gthink I'm dead ^GDon't bury my bones, but put me instead In a ^Ccan in the ^Dcannery ^Gshed
