Far Away Boys

Well, I worked on the railroad for tuppence a day

Drank down one penny, the other I'd save

I hammered and I hammered for God knows how long

Well, into madness with each setting sun

I put my head down and I dreamt you were here

With me by the ol' tree, where no one could careFar away boys, far away boys

Away from ya now

I'm lyin' with my sweetheart

In her arms I'll be foundThen the sun belched upon me, you were no longer here

Lyin' in your place was my hammer and my gear

So I stamped out the fire that kept us both warm

The ashes were fallin' like the snow drops of old

We came to a mountain, dynamite and she'll blow

A big hole in that rock like the one in my soulFar away boys, far away boys

Away from ya now

I'm lyin' with my sweetheart

In her arms I'll be foundWe buried four workmen, they dug themselves well

From four empty coffins to four early graves

They're only paddys, just paddys, don't dig them too deep

You'll need all your strength boys and they're replaced easily

With the heat I was melting into your sweet lips

Ah, your kiss takes me back, takes me back from all thisFar away boys, far away boys

Away from ya now

I'm lyin' with my sweetheart

In her arms I'll be foundSomeone said, it was Christmas but not a tree was in sight

The only thing growin' was my will to die

Till the gaffer said, "Men, your work here is done"

I said, "I'll see you in Hell, on that train we died for"

Never again, will I smell your sweet dream

But a pissed stained ol' gutter where your lips used to beFar away boys, far away boys

Away from ya now

I'm lyin' with my sweetheart

In her arms I'll be foundFar away boys, far away boys

Away from ya now

I'm lyin' with my sweetheart

In her arms I'll be found
