A G D A G D

DMama, mama, come and listen now and I’ll Atell you what I Gsaw

GI was down by the railway gates – DI was feeling bored

 Then a Ggoods train rolled up Dclickety-clack

GYou say there ain’t no Dspecial in that

 But it was Acrowded down, it was Gloaded Ddown

 With Amen all wearing Grags and Dfrowns

 And if Ayou want to listen what GI’ve been Dtold

 TonAight it’s on for Gyoung and Dold in Gour town, tonight in Dour town.

 Won’t you Gspare a Dsmile, can’t youG shed a Dtear

 In these Asad times, in these Gbad times in these Dhungry years

 Some Dsay they are pickers, they are Aup for honest Gwork

GSome they are just Dhard time men, Aa little bit down on their luck

 So Gwhy is it you are Dfrowning dad,G when I say they’re Dnot that bad?

 Oh they are Atired men, they’re unhGired Dmen

 They Aain’t slept warm since wGho knows Dwhen

 And if Ayou want to listen, if Gyou want to Dknow,

 It’s Acaution to the Gwind they’ll Dthrow in Gour town, tonight in Dour town

 Won’t you Gspare a Dsmile, can’t youG shed a Dtear

 In these Asad times, in these Gbad times in these Dhungry years

DWe are very many, and Ayou are very Gfew

 And Gif we want to Dsteal your girls – that’s Ajust what we will do

 ‘Cause you dGrove us from your Dcities, and you Gdrove us from your Dtrains

 And we are Adown and out in GOuyen Dtown, and you Aknow we are MildGura-Dbound

 And if Ayou want to listen, Guse your Dbrains,

AYou’d better let us Gjoin your Dtrain and Gleave this town – I Dhate your town

 Won’t you Gspare a Dsmile, can’t youG shed a Dtear

 In these Asad times, in these Gbad times in these Dhungry years
