Send Home The Slates lyrics
Song information
Artist: Camel Album: Harbour Of Tears
Lyrics
Latimer/hoover I work for the union pike Out on the western line I found uncle sean in denver And he and his wife are fine They send their best And like the rest - They send home the slates
It took six months from the cobh Another six by land But the pay is good And as I should I'll send home the slates
Back on your feet Now lads Our time for writing home has passed Six miles to spike today That's what we need So fast lads We must advance Work to the gandy dance Six days to double pay That's our reward - But not 'til the line goes down
I'll not send empty letters I know you need the rent Dad, you deserve a new pair of boots I know it's money well spent So kind regards I'll work hard - To send home the slates
Ps. dear ma I send my picture Don't let the family forget me..
