the men they couldn't hang - handy man lyrics
at the end of the summer
i found my choice
working at the shipyard
or a penniless college boy
homework in my satchal
or money in my hand
simple mathematics even
i could underastand
bring bargains to your door
waiting for that lucky draw
these days i am a handy man
cutting gr-ss and lifting sacks
swinging down the spade and axe
these days i am a handy man
grandpa was a welder
my dad was a stevedore
we went to work in autumn
down by the woolston sh0r-
grandpa took the handshake
and i went self-employed
rolling drunks and chasing punks
like all the other boys
(chorus)
the workforce was re-organised
and that included me
i claimed the supplementary
got some new training scheme
(chorus)
now i’m selling onions
in the richer parts of town
it makes those women glad
to have a handy man around…
(chorus)
the end of the summer…
