Текст песни: Yon Two Crows (Privateering 2012)
[Verse 1] Pennies from heaven, don't make me laugh Here all you'll get's the patterin' rain Or yon two crows up over the hill Lookin' for winter kill Always at your boots, the mud behind the byre With its clammy hold Would mock you up a grave here in the mire Of a wrecked sheepfold [Chorus] And all you'll bring to this is muscle and grit Persistence, that's just about it What made you think there'd be a livin' in sheep? Eat, work, eat, work and sleep [Verse 2] Duck under the eaves of the bothy To sit here, caged by rain Somewhere to go, conjure a next move When I have to think again The dog lifts his gaze to plead Believes the wizard has a magic stick Leans his weight into my tweed I give an unholy hand to lick [Chorus] I take a swig of sheep dip from my flask And once again I ask What made you think there'd be a livin' in sheep? Eat, work, eat, work and sleep [Verse 3] They were at this game two hundred years ago Thirty ways of dyin' young, poor souls Laid to rest in their soggy rows Rain on their holy books Blood and whisky on the tongue No-one watchin' over anyone No-one left but your stubborn one And the crows and rooks [Chorus] Ah, the dyin' young Well, I'm not done You watch me and I'll watch thee I can still work for two men and drink for three I raise my flask to the clearin' skies To you, sweepers, you carrion spies To scavenge and survive If you can do it, so can I
