Well they came around late one night Yes, they came around to put things right They found dad's horse at the end of his chain Oh, thank the Lord, that we had moved on When lads has got money, lads thinks they're man But when a man's got no money, he's just lads again We never lingered, we kept moving on Dad plied his trade and the bread it was won But us lads did squander, not a penny we've saved Spent all the money the old man he made When lads has got money, lads think they're man But when a man's got no money, he's just lads again Ooh, wer'e wondering was never done The old man passed on and we won't tell he's gone It took his two closed to open your eye To that old song he sung all his life When lads has got money, lads thinks they're man But when the man's got no money, he's just lads again
