Come My Little Son Lyrics by Luke Kelly

Thank You For The Days

0

Come, me little son and I will tell you what we'l do
Undress yourself and get into bed and a tale I'll tell to you
It's all about your daddy, he's a man you seldom see
For he's had to roam away from home, far away from you and me
[Chorus]
Remember, laddie, he's still your dad
Though he's working far away
In the cold and heat of the hours of the week
On England's motorway
Now, when you fall and hurt yourself and get a feeling bad
It isn't any good to go running for your dad
For the only time since you were born he's had to spend with you
He was out of a job and he hadn't a bob
He was signin' on the brew
[Chorus]
Remеmber, laddie, he's still your dad
Though hе's working far away
In the cold and heat of the hours of the week
On England's motorway
Sure, we'd like your daddy here, yes sure it would be fine
To have him working near our home and to see him all the time
But beggars can't be choosers and we have to bear our load
For we need the money your daddy earns a-working on the road
[Chorus]
Remember, laddie, he's still your dad
And he'll soon be home to stay
For a week or two with me and you
When he's built a motorway
