Camel - Send Home The Slates Lyrics
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,
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,
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...

lyrics amınakoduklarım
Watching the bobbins,
go up and down.
Fine Irish linen
for a ladies gown.
One shirt a penny,
seven in a tag;
ten hours a day
and her heart begins to drag.
This never ending cycle goes on.
But she promised she would never stay...
for long.
Rocking the treadle,
ache in her soul.
She keeps the rhythm
and it takes a toll.
Threading the needle,
strains in her eyes.
Old withered fingers
steal her young girl's pride
She's saving every penny she earns,
because the passion for her freedom
still burns.
Thans Andy from Adrian Hollandjan
