Gaol Song 歌詞
Gaol Song - EGGIBRED
Step in young man i know your face
It's nothing in your favour
A little time i'll give to you
Six months unto hard labour
Hip fol the day hip fol the day
Hip fol the day form day hip you
At six o'clock the screw comes in
A bunch of keys all in his hand
Step up my lads step up in time
And tread the wheel till breakfast time
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day form day hip you
At eight o'clock our skilly comes in
Sometimes thick and sometimes thin
But devil a word we must not say
Or it's bread and water all next day
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day form day hip you
At half past eight the bell doth ring
Into the chapel we must swing
Down on our bended knees to fall
The lord have mercy on us all
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day form day hip you
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day form day hip you
At nine o'clock the jangle rings
All on the trap boys we must spring
Come my lads step up in time
Tread the wheel toand the corn to grind
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day form day hip you
Now saturday's come i'm sorry to say
Sunday is our starvation day
Our hobnail boots and tin mugs too
They are not shined nor they will not do
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day form day hip you
Now six long months are over and past
And i will return to my bonny lass
I'll leave them turnkeys all behind
The wheel to tread and the corn to grind
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day form day hip you
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day
Hip fol the day form day hip you
