alice white - alan bell lyrics

Loading...

my name is alice white, i’d have you all to know
i left mi fathers farm a long time ago
mi mother called me a silly lass and said i’d rue the day
that i followed on the heels of the navvies

my first man dandy jack, was handsome young and fine
and i loved him right through england as we tramped from line to line
we lived in shanty houses, with lodgers and children three
and i worked to fill the needs of the navvies

when dandy jack was k!lled, beneath a fall of stone
i wept and cursed the day, that ever i was born
but thе children needed feeding, and many men lookеd at me
so i jumped the brush to stay with the navvies

time came i was deserted when the children numbered five
so i got me yet another man, for to keep us all alive
and so i’ve known so many men, they’ve called me alice free
as i’ve lived my life away with the navvies

and now i’m getting old, and grey before mi time
with the work and the child*bearin’, as i tramp from line to line
but i ne’r forget ol’ dandy jack, lying so cold in his grave
he’s the only one i loved, of the navvies
