Ben Crawley Steel Company - The Move

The next train arrives on here at five o nine

I’m standing where my daddy used to be

To follow his footsteps takes me three stops down the line

Down to the Ben Crawley steel company

Well I tried my hand at ranching but this didn’t come off

Seems nothing in that for me

It always tried my patience 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

Waiting by the door for me little woman

Now I won’t moan when I get home from the Ben Crawley steel company

When Crawley makes the jokes and four guys laugh a lot

Damn, 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 for me little woman (my true lovin' woman)

Well I won’t slack when I get back from the Ben Crawley steel company

Well I’ve had my fill and it’s giving me hell, now it’s time for hate

Thanks mister for telling me

So I’ll shoot if I can and I won’t (don't) give a damn about playing it

Straight

My friends and the lord know what he’s done (he did) to me

He’s being staying at home with my little woman

Playing in the fields where I should always be

It’s hard to forgive my own little woman

And to find a job 'cos I just blew up that steel company

Heh!
