Dock Worker's Song Songtext
von Misbehavin' Maidens

Well a working lass am I, and I am telling you no lie
I work and sleep among the docks, where the laddies come to buy
There′s dirt and dust around me, and the sea spray fills the air
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell, and white stuff in me hair

And it′s blow, girls, blow, no time to take a break
And every day you're in this place the more you start to ache
But you blow

Well I've slept with saints and sinners and most every type of bloke
The tall, the small, "Not there at all," and some who made me choke
Spend all my time down on me knees till my thighs start to burn
I like it rough, I′ve done enough to make your stomachs turn

And it′s blow, girls, blow, no time to take a break
And every day you're in this place the more you start to ache
But you blow


Well, there′s overtime and bonus opportunities galore
The young men have their money and they all come back for more
But soon you're knocking on and you′re tired and you're sore
For every bob you give a job, there′s five knocking on your door

And it's blow, girls, blow, no time to take a break
And every day you're in this place the more you start to ache
But you blow

Well a working lass am I and I′m telling you no lie
I work and sleep among the docks, where the laddies come to buy
There′s dirt and dust around me, and the sea spray fills the air
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell, and white stuff in me hair

And it′s blow, girls, blow, no time to take a break
And every day you're in this place the more you start to ache
And it′s blow, girls, blow, no time to take a break
And every day you're in this place the more you start to ache
But you blow
