Aren't you a skinny kid?
Just like his poppa
Where's he working?
He's not working
Thin as the smile I wear
Cold as the beaches you comb
'Til the cows come home
Tell the truth again
Tell the truth again
Near to the knuckle,
Near to the knuckle
Why're you laughing?
You call that laughing?
Wearing your death's head grin
Even the fishes are thin
When the boat comes in
Things are better now
Things are better now
We've education
I doff my cap to a life that lets you
Dream a poor man's dream
But he can't have his coffee with cream
'Til the cows come home

Beautiful song - fantastic montage. Not sure which brings a lump to my throat more, the melancholy music or the sad images ..... Either way - excellent job !11 years ago

Jim, this video is a gem. It pushes me to get hold of Protest Songs, an album that I usually neglect to the later ones. Paddy is someone I admire so much I wish I could meet him one day. The Blue Cave ( Jaime from Argentina)13 years ago
