Christy Moore - Don't Forget Your Shovel lyrics

Don't forget your shovel if you
Want to go to work
Oh don't forget your shovel if you
Want to go to work
Don't forget your shovel if you
Want to go to work
Or you'll end up where you came
From like the rest of us
Diggin', diggin', diggin'

And don't forget your shoes and socks
And shirt and tie and all
Don't forget your shoes and socks and
Shirt and tie and all
Mr murphy's afraid you'll make a claim
If you take a fall
("how's it goin'" "not too bad")
And we want to go to heaven
But we're always diggin' holes
We want to go to heaven
But we're always diggin' holes
Yeah we want to go to heaven
But we're always diggin' holes
Well there's one thing you can saywe
Know where we are goin'
("any chance of a start?" "no" "okay")

And if you want to do itdon't
You do it against the wall
If you want to do itdon't you
Do it against the wall
Never seen a toilet on a building site at all
There's a shed up in the corner where
They won't see you at all
("mind your sandwiches")

Enoch powell will give us a job
Diggin' our way to annascaul
Enoch Powell will give us a job
Diggin' our way to annascaul
Enoch Powell will give us a job
Diggin' our way to annascaul
And when we're finished diggin' there they'll
Close the hole and all

Now there's six thousand five
Hundred and fifty-nine paddies
Over there in london all trying to
Dig their way back to annascaul
And very few of them boys is
Going to get back at all
I think that's terrible

Don't forget your shovel if you
Want to go to work
Don't forget your shovel if you
Want to go to work
Oh, don't forget your shovel if you
Want to go to work
Or you'll end up where you came
From like the rest of us
Diggin', diggin', diggin'
