Verse
Am G Em
My Daddy he were just a boy when he walked outta school,
Am G Am
His Mammy said there™d soon be one more hungry mouth to fill,
Am G Em
He said ˜the learnin™ and the schoolin™ wurnae bad for them that could,
Am G Am
Tho™ I can read & write my bloody name & sign it where I should™,
Chorus
And he said..
Am G Em
˜If I had my time again, I know I™d be a learned man,
Am Em Am G Am
An artisan in high demand, a Doctor or a Teacher,
Am G Em
As sure as guns are made of iron, I were born a workin man,
Am Em Am G Am
I™d live & die right where I stand if I™d my time again™.
Verse
Am G Em
He went wide eyed down tae Johnny Brown, he were a big lad for his years,
Am G Am
And there he worked so long if he ever cried there™d be iron ore in his tears,
Am G Em
He™d tumble in of a Friday night a Haddie for yer tea,
Am G Am
And he™d sing to me their dirty songs & diddle me on his knee,
Chorus
And he™d sing..
Am G Em
˜If I had my time again, I know I™d be a rovin’ man,
Am Em Am G Am
I™d rove away to far Japan to court the Emperors daughter..™
Am G Em
As sure as guns are made of iron, I were born a workin man,
Am Em Am G Am
I™d live & die right where I stand if I™d my time again™.
Verse
Am G Em
With his mates he™d belt the plates on fleets of shining awe,
Am G Em
To carry all the well-to-do to golden foreign shores,
Am G Em
They all coughed themselves to an early grave half filled with bloody rain,
Am G Am
As the people sang ˜The Long Black Limousine™,
Chorus
We all sing!..
Am G Em
‘If I had my time again, I know I™d be a fightin™ man,
Am Em Am G Am
In far Malay or Vietnam, tho™ I am more a lover..™
Am G Em
As sure as guns are made of iron, I were born a workin man,
Am Em Am G Am
I™d live & die right where I stand if I™d my time again™.
