The Dreadnoughts - Dusty Ground lyrics
[The Dreadnoughts - Dusty Ground lyrics]
The dogs are moaning low
The moon is in the sky
The baby in his bed he gives a little cry
He knows the dirty secret
We never pass around
We're all just water on the dusty ground
The sky’s a'burning crimson from
Fires in the west
The rich man's running for the
Isles of the blessed
As Jimmy fells the timber that
Never makes a sound
We're all just water on the dusty ground
Tulloo! Tullay! The reaper's on the way!
He's sitting in the corner
He's coming out to play nobody gives a toss
So stand your final round
We're all just water on the dusty ground
We're all just water on the dusty ground
There's children blown to pieces by
Madmen in the sky
And warlords gathering with deserts
In their eyes and Jesus may be sacred
But the devil is profound
We're all just water on the dusty ground
When the day is over there's Jimmy at the bar
He's drowning sorrows in his
Meagre little jar
Recalls the little secret we
Never pass around
We're all just water on the dusty ground
Tulloo! Tullay! The reaper's on the way!
He's sitting in the corner
He's coming out to play nobody gives a toss
So stand your final round
We're all just water on the dusty ground
We're all just water on the dusty ground
The farmer at the soil
The soldier on the line
The lovesick jerry singing Darling Clementine
The lady in the country
The courtesan in town
They're all just water on the dusty ground
Tulloo! Tullay! The reaper's on the way!
He's sitting in the corner
He's coming out to play nobody gives a toss
So stand your final round
We're all just water on the dusty ground
We're all just water on the dusty ground
The moon is in the sky
The baby in his bed he gives a little cry
He knows the dirty secret
We never pass around
We're all just water on the dusty ground
The sky’s a'burning crimson from
Fires in the west
The rich man's running for the
Isles of the blessed
As Jimmy fells the timber that
Never makes a sound
We're all just water on the dusty ground
Tulloo! Tullay! The reaper's on the way!
He's sitting in the corner
He's coming out to play nobody gives a toss
So stand your final round
We're all just water on the dusty ground
We're all just water on the dusty ground
There's children blown to pieces by
Madmen in the sky
And warlords gathering with deserts
In their eyes and Jesus may be sacred
But the devil is profound
We're all just water on the dusty ground
When the day is over there's Jimmy at the bar
He's drowning sorrows in his
Meagre little jar
Recalls the little secret we
Never pass around
We're all just water on the dusty ground
Tulloo! Tullay! The reaper's on the way!
He's sitting in the corner
He's coming out to play nobody gives a toss
So stand your final round
We're all just water on the dusty ground
We're all just water on the dusty ground
The farmer at the soil
The soldier on the line
The lovesick jerry singing Darling Clementine
The lady in the country
The courtesan in town
They're all just water on the dusty ground
Tulloo! Tullay! The reaper's on the way!
He's sitting in the corner
He's coming out to play nobody gives a toss
So stand your final round
We're all just water on the dusty ground
We're all just water on the dusty ground
