The Driver’s Song
Ewan MacColl
[Verse 1]
Come all ye' gallant drivers
Where ever you may be
Whether you drive a euclit or 54-RV
Keep your hands upon the leafers
Cutt and fill a steady load
And take it nice and steady boys
Diggin' up the road
[Verse 2]
We built a hundred airfields
In the snow, and wind, and rain
Built atomic powerstations
More damms than i can name
We've plowed through rock and swampland
Moved mountains by the load
Now we're going nice and steady boys
Diggin' up the road
[Verse 3]
When your diggin' days is over
And you've loaded your last tonne
Whеn your cab's been broken up for scrap
And your RB-10 won't run
When you've had your last stamp on your card
And rеached your last abode
For a long time there'll be people
Travelin' on your road
