                         A 
Times down here they was hard as life  
                  D 
Ice on the frozen river 
                             A 
And the promises made by the men in grey 
                  D 
They seem to be delivered 


G                     C       G 
Deaken and me we were marking time 
       D                G 
In the ranks of the unemployed 
          D                 A 
When they hired us on for a week or so 
                       D           A   D 
To work with the Gypsy Boys, oh 


                              A 
Well, the factory closed down yesterday 
                     D 
The textiles' turn tomorrow 
                       A 
Say what you will, but down this way 
                    D 
One goes, the other follows 

        G                      C       G 
So it's up you riggers, up you riggers go 
           D                G 
While your chains around, rejoice 
            D                 A 
'Cause they hired us on for a week or so 
                       D   
To work with the Gypsy Boys
