Come my little son and I will tell you what to do
Undress yourself and get into bed and a tale IÃll tell to you
ItÃs all about your Daddy son, HeÃs a man you seldome see
For heÃs had to roam far away from home
Far away from you and me
Ch) But remember lad, heÃs still your Dad
though heÃs workinà far away
in the cold and heat, 40 hours a week
on EnglandÃs motorway
2) Sure weÃd like to have him here--for sure it would be fine
To have him living here at home and be with us all the time
But beggars canÃt be choosers and weÃll have to bear the load
For we need the money your Daddy earns
A-workinà on the road
3) When you fall and cut yourself and get up feeling bad
There isnÃt any use to go a-runninà to your Dad
For the only time since you were born thatÃs he had to spend with you
He was out on the line a-makinà his time
He was workinà on a crew
