lirik lagu jack ironside - the young'uns
[verse 1]
i goes by the name, jack ironside
i comes up the river on the mornin’ tide
i comes up the river on the mornin’ tide
looking for a place where i can bide
i’ll find meself a job to do
there’s iron ore in them hill to you
and i will smelt it down for you
that’s what i’ll do
[chorus]
jack ironside, jack ironside
jack ironside
[verse 2]
so i got me a shovel, a spade and a pick
and into the hills i began to dig
i dug right through till the afternoon
and a million tonnes of ore i’d hewn
i brought that lot down from your hills
i built your furnaces and your kilns
your foundries and your rolling mills
that’s what i did
[chorus]
jack ironside, jack ironside
jack ironsidе
[verse 3]
i then took stones and i built your towns
put down roads, laid your railways down
built bridges from your homеmade steel
and power stations to turn the wheels
i called up welshmen, called down scots
to man your shipyards and your docks
and i shouted from the chimney tops
i’ve done it all
[chorus]
jack ironside, jack ironside
jack ironside
[verse 4]
i then poured your oil into big steel tanks
brought giant ships to your river banks
the hulls were emptied, the hulls were filled
with chemicals, timber, iron and steel
shrieking sirens, clanking chains
the whistles from a thousand trains
the workmen shout from towering cranes
they call my name
[chorus]
jack ironside, jack ironside
jack ironside
[verse 5]
i then got stuck into your chemical works
built giant plants from nowt but dirt
and as the twilight began to fall
i took a rest and i looked at it all
generators hum and turbines moan
engines creak and motors groan
all night and day they seem to drone
jack ironside
[chorus]
jack ironside, jack ironside
jack ironside, jack ironside
jack ironside
[verse 6]
now your work’s long done, jack ironside
and all your tools lay cast aside
why did you go, why did you hide
when you sailed away on the evening tide
you wonder now what’s left for you
standing in that long dull queue
dreaming of the world you knew
what will you do?
[chorus]
jack ironside, jack ironside
jack ironside, jack ironside
jack ironside
