lirik lagu camel - send home the slates
latimer/hoover
i work for the union pike,
out on the western line.
i found uncle sean in denver,
and he and his wife are fine.
they send their best,
and like the rest –
they send home the slates.
it took six months from the cobh,
another six by land,
but the pay is good,
and as i should
i’ll send home the slates.
back on your feet
now lads,
our time for writing home has p-ssed.
six miles to spike today,
that’s what we need.
so fast lads
we must advance,
work to the gandy dance.
six days to double pay,
that’s our reward –
but not ’til the line goes down.
i’ll not send empty letters,
i know you need the rent.
dad, you deserve a new pair of boots,
i know it’s money well spent.
so kind regards,
i’ll work hard –
to send home the slates.
ps. dear ma,
i send my picture.
don’t let the family forget me…
