lirik lagu kacy & clayton - the dalesman's litany
[verse 1]
it’s hard when folks can’t find the work where they’ve been bred and born
when i was young i always thought i’d bide ‘midst roots and corn
but i’ve been forced to work in town, so here’s my litany
from hull and halifax and h~ll, good lord deliver me
[verse 2]
when i was courting mary jane, the old squire says to me
i’ve got no rooms for wedded folk, choose whether to go or to stay
i could not give up the girl i loved, so to town i was forced to flee
from hull and halifax and h~ll, good lord deliver me
[verse 3]
i’ve worked in leeds and huddersfield and i’ve earned some honest brass
in bradford, keighley, rotherham i’ve kept my bairns and lass
i’ve travelled all three ridings ’round and once i went to sea
from forges, mills and coaling boats, good lord deliver me
[verse 4]
i’ve walked at night through sheffield lanes, ’twas just as being in h~ll
where furnaces thrust out tongues of fire and roared like the wind on the fell
i’ve sammed up coals in barnsley pits with muck up to my knee
from barnsley, sheffield, rotherham, good lord deliver me
[verse 5]
i’ve seen fog creep across leeds bridge as thick as bastille soup
and i’ve lived where folks were stowed away like rabbits in a coop
and i’ve seen snow float down bradford beck as black as ebony
from hunslet, holbeck, wibsey stack, good lord deliver me
[instrumental break]
[verse 6]
but now that all our children have grown, to the country we’ve come back
there’s forty miles of heathery moor ‘twixt us and the coalpits’ stack
and as i sit by the fire at night, i laugh and shout with glee
from hull and halifax and h~ll the good lord delivered me
