You work me so hard that my back's near broke (we're groanin’)
My brow is wet and my throat's a-choke (we're groanin’)
You send me here for 10 long years (we're groanin’)
I miss my whisky and I miss my beer (we're groanin’)
Ain't seen a gal since I don't know when (we're groanin’)
And the way you treat me won't see one again (we're groanin’)
(main riff in G)
You broke my head cos I spat on a guard (we're groanin’)
Don't make me no better you just make me harder (we're groanin’)
Your water stinks cos it comes from a bog (we're groanin’)
And that slop you feed us ain't fit for a dog (we're groanin’)
C D
Well you can tease me and try to break me and still I spit at you
Eb D
You'll never break my spirit, even when my body's black and blue
C /C /G /G /D /Eb /D
(8 trail offs - ie hit D barre chord slide down and mute)
(guitar solo)
Well in my arm there's a dreadful pain (we're groanin’)
It's hard diggin ditches with a ball and chain (we're groanin’)
You send me here for 10 long years (we're groanin’)
I miss my whisky and I miss my beer (we're groanin’)
