[01:09.18]A room on the top floor
[01:13.80]
[01:14.85]And the chest all but knackered
[01:19.08]
[01:20.80]Two fingers not working
[01:24.70]
[01:26.77]And the back's shot to hell
[01:30.70]
[01:32.68]It's a lifetime of digging trenches
[01:36.61]
[01:38.48]In the cold and wet weather
[01:43.41]
[01:44.71]And for laying half the roadway
[01:47.41]In England as well
[01:50.83]
[01:53.69]You'd finish in the one place
[01:57.57]
[01:59.51]It was straight to the next one
[02:03.84]
[02:05.65]And you never could settle
[02:09.76]
[02:11.43]And you were always alone
[02:14.26]
[02:17.61]Just a drifter in limbo
[02:21.51]
[02:23.54]I was best off away son
[02:27.90]
[02:29.76]Just one of the thousands
[02:32.50]Who could never go home
[02:35.79]
[02:38.71]That's your mighty man son
[02:43.13]
[02:44.75]Your mighty man
[02:47.63]
[02:51.02]Well the boat and the train ride
[02:55.34]
[02:57.04]In a misty November
[03:02.57]
[03:03.17]We had the worst of the lodgings
[03:07.46]
[03:09.15]And we hated the subs
[03:12.73]
[03:15.34]Ma's face on the leaving
[03:20.08]
[03:21.36]I will always remember
[03:25.10]
[03:27.51]And we wouldn't get paid
[03:29.53]Until they had closed up their pubs
[03:34.49]
[04:21.29]And I could stand up on horseback
[04:25.63]
[04:27.32]Was the man for the singing
[04:31.79]
[04:33.11]Put my hand up for boxing
[04:36.87]
[04:38.83]At the fairground on the heath
[04:42.50]
[04:44.74]I could play my accordion
[04:48.31]
[04:50.84]And charm all of the women
[04:54.37]
[04:56.38]And dance round the taproom
[04:59.07]With a chair in my teeth
[05:02.90]
[05:05.40]That's your mighty man son
[05:10.15]
[05:11.01]Your mighty man
[05:14.38]
[05:17.01]That's your mighty man son
[05:22.06]
[05:23.00]Your mighty man
[05:28.01]
