    England's Motor Way

    by Ewan MacColl & Peggy Seeger
    Intro

    Come me little son and I will tell you what we'll do,
    Undress yourself and get into bed and a tale I'll tell to you
    Its all about your daddy he's a man you seldom see,
    For he's had to roam away from home, far away from you and me.

    Chorus I
    Remember laddie he's still your dad,
    Though he's working far away,
    In the cold and heat all the hours of the week,
    On England's motorway.

    Now when you fall and hurt yourself and get a feeling bad,
    It isn't any good to go running for your dad,
    For the only time since you were born, he's had to spend with you,
    He was out of a job and he hadn't a bob, he was signing on the brew

    Chorus I

    Sure we'd like your daddy here, yes sure it would be fine,
    To have him working nearer home, and to see him all the time,
    But beggars cant be choosers and we have to bear our load,
    For we need the money your daddy earns,
    out working on the road.

    Chorus II
    Remember laddie he's still your dad,
    and he'll soon be home to stay,
    for a week or two with me and you
    When he's built the motorway.
