lirik lagu the men they couldn't hang - shirt of blue
[verse 1]
hey now tommy, have you got a new shirt?
is its colour a fine bright blue?
has your mother sent you off to your school
from the street with the pretty view?
and shall we wrestle in the old school yard
like the other children do?
we can scuff your shoes, you can tear your hands
and i’ll rip that shirt off you
[verse 2]
hey now tommy, since you moved away
they’ve taken our town and they’ve made it new
now there stands a chemical plant
where the cherry orchards grew
and i married lucy from the back of our cl-ss
who once wrote letters to you;
we’ve got kids and we send ’em to school
from the street with the pretty view
[chorus]
oh oh, in your shirt of blue
oh oh, in your shirt of blue
[middle-eight]
maybe, tommy
you grew up too quick
from the fields
where the flowers grew
from a b-tterfly stick
to a baton and a brick
changing uniforms
far too soon
[verse 3]
hey now, tommy, shall we meet again
in the morning wet with dew?
me at the gates of the colliery
you in your shirt of blue
and shall we wrestle in the muddy patch
like the other poor men do?
we can scuff our boots, we can tear our hands
and i’ll rip that shirt off you
[chorus]
[middle-eight]
[chorus]x3
