Lyrics & Information
This is the final track from the 1971 debut album of Thin Lizzy. I found this in my music collection. It is taken from a BBC concert the Hippodrome, Golders Green in North London. It's a great live recording of this very rare and early song from Thin Lizzy. It's the first Lizzy 3 piece set up with the great Eric Bell. You will also find that the lyrics aren't the same from the album version. I love it! Enjoy! It's a great one.
Lyrics :-
[Intro by announcer]
"Yes, and that's just for starters that's uh the opening number from Thin Lizzy a new number in fact called The Rocker. Well this next one is a bit more familiar because it first appeared on a Thin Lizzy maxi single you may remember, 'Thing's Ain't Working Out Down At The Farm'."
There goes Moses carrying a bible book
Never has a problem, he just has a cup
It's good clean alchohol, and it fill ya up
Here I go laughing, like a fool yeah
Thing's ain't working out, down at the farm
Got noo bag or baggage, got no love
And I ain't been in trouble since I was a baby, and I was born
Thing's ain't working out, down at the farm
He caught me unawares, and he made me strip, naked
Ohh I was scared, Ohh I was scared, I was shaking
He said
It's you and me
And me and you
And me and me
And you and you
And me and me
And I just kept laughing, geez he liked bustin' me, he liked busting me
Thing's ain't working out, down at the farm
I got no woman, to keep me warm
And I ain't been in trouble, with the law before
And it's bad and I'm discusted
You see my girlfriend's just been busted
Low down and dirty, I can't be trusted!
[Great signature Eric Bell Solo]
Thing's ain't working out, Out
[Eric joins] Down at the ... farm.
Clapping 'Thankyou'.
