CHORUS

We buried four workmen; they dug themselves well

From four empty coffins to four early graves

They're only paddies, just paddies; don't dig them too deep

You'll need all your strength, boys, and they're replaced easily

With the heat I was melting into your sweet lips

Ah, your kiss takes me back, takes me back from all this

CHORUS

Someone said it was Christmas but not a tree was in sight

The only thing growin' was my will to die

Till the gaffer said "Men, your work here is done"

I said "I'll see you in Hell, on that train we died for"

Never again will I smell your sweet dream

But a pissed stained old gutter where your lips used to be

CHORUS

Quite simple, as all their songs tend to be. That's it for now. Enjoy it!
