Corned Beef City

Early in the morning Going to meet a man Who wants a truck un-loading For cash in hand He don't ask questions When there's nothing in the bank Got to feed the kids And put the diesel in the tank Bacon, egg & Sausage Double chips & beans Tea & bread & butter And a day on their machine Christmas coming With the final demand So what you got going? For cash in hand Oh! It ain't too pretty Corned beef city It ain't too pretty Corned beef city Early in the morning Where the trucks all stand Got a pocket full of folding And a pair of Jerry cans Got to keep it going They're laying off at four I'm only one step ahead Of my room & board Oh! It ain't too pretty Corned beef city It ain't too pretty Corned beef city Early in the morning Cause, I'm going to meet a man Who wants a truck un-loading For cash in hand Who don't ask questions And there's nothing in the bank Got to feed the kids And put the diesel in the tank Cause it ain't too pretty Corned beef city It ain't too pretty Corned beef city
