Lyrics

Verse 1
Ah me mothers hangin washin on the line on the line
Me mothers hanging washing on the line
There's a grand breeze blowin and there’s plenty of dryin
Me mothers hanging washin on the line on the line
Me mothers hangin washing on the line
Verse 2
Me father's got his shovel digging graves digging graves
Me father's got his shovel digging Graves
The sweat is rolling off him but the hunger he braves
Me father's got his shovel digging graves digging graves
Me father's got his shovel digging graves
 
Chorus
Every day is just like the others
No spud left for meself or me brothers
All of us beggin to stay alive
In 1845
Verse 3
Ah we haven’t got a shilling to our name to our name
We haven’t got a shilling to our name
Down on our knees and we feel no shame
We haven’t got a shilling to our name to our name
We haven’t got a shilling to our name.
Chorus
Every day is just like the others
No spuds left for meself or me brothers
All of us begging to stay alive
In 1845
Verse 4
We’re living on the breath of a prayer of a prayer
We're living on the breath of a prayer
We're hanging on hopes so we won’t despair
We’re living on the breath of a prayer of a prayer
We're living on the breath of a prayer
Chorus
Every day is just like the others
No spuds left for meself or me brothers
All of us begging to stay alive
In 1845
Verse 5
Ah the youngest of us left to sail away sail away
The youngest of us left to sail away
There wasn’t any reason left for him to stay
The youngest of us left to sail away sail away
The youngest of us left to sail away.
Chorus
Ah me mother's hangin Washin on the line on the line
Me mother's hanging washing on the line
There's a grand breeze blowin and there’s plenty of dryin
Me mother's hanging washin on the line on the line
Me mother's hangin washing on the line
Repeat Chorus
