Ben Crawley Steel Company Songtext

von The Move

The next train arrives on here at 5:09
I'm standing where my Daddy used to be
To follow his footsteps takes me three steps down the line
Down to the Ben Crawley steel company
Well I tried my hand at ranching
But this didn't come off
Seems nothin' else got for me
It always tried my patience
Of which I haven't enough
I'm destined to work in a steel company

Just you wait at home for me little woman
By now I should know how lovely you will be
Waitin' by the door for me little woman
I won't moan when I get home
From the Ben Crawley steel company

When Crawley makes the jokes
And fool guys laugh a lot
Dan, force a grin if you can
I got so many words on the tip of my tongue
To shoot him down
But he'd soon replace a mere steel driving man

Just you wait at home for me little woman
Although I know you won't be as tired as me
Waiting by the door, my true lovin' woman
Well I won't slack when I get back
From the Ben Crawley steel company

Well l've had my fill and it's givin' me hell
Now it's time for hate
Thanks Mister for telling me
So I'll shoot if I can
And I don't give a damn about playin' it straight
My friends and the law know what he did to me
He's been stayin' at home with my little woman
Layin' in the fields where I should always be
It's harder to forgive my own little woman
And to find a job

Cause I just blew up that steel company
