landless forever - field music and the nasuwt riverside band lyrics
at every pit my name was dirt
the only way to get some work
was scratch and beg for five whole pounds
to pennsylvania i was bound
three weeks aboard a steamer ship
sick but less cramped than the pit
it took a while to find my feet
ashore as well as o’er the deep
but every time i rise from sleep
a voice within calls to me
leave the mines
settle the land
when and how could
that happen back home?
never never
certainly nevеr
landless forever
a paupеr for good
landless for good
we have unions here
and strikes the same as home
terse words with overmen
on how much work was done
more and more men come
as the days tick on
they said the war would mean
strong lads were in demand
and men who knew which were foul coals
by dingy lamp
but still more men come
wives and bairns along
soon the place is full
but another pull says
leave the mines
settle the land
how could that ever
happen back home?
never never
certainly never
landless forever
a pauper for good
landless for good
back home
