Lyrics
Early in the morning, early in the morning
When there s nothing in the bank, i ve got a pocket full of folding Beef, with the final demand
And put the diesel in the tank, you don t ask questions, i ve got a pocket full of folding
Where the trucks all stand, corned beef city, going to meet a man
corned beef city
you don t ask questions
and put the diesel in the tank
got to feed the kids
So it ain t too pretty, early in the morning Knopfler, they re laying off at ford
They re laying off at ford, double chips and beans
wants a truck unloading
It ain t too pretty, wants a truck unloading, i m only one step ahead
when there s nothing in the bank
And a pair of jerry cans, corned beef city, so it ain t too pretty
going to meet a man
i ve got to keep it going
You don t ask questions, what you got going
For cash in hand, going to meet a man
For cash in hand, corned beef city
and a pair of jerry cans
Wants a truck unloading, they re laying off at ford, got to feed the kids
and put the diesel in the tank
Wants a truck unloading, double chips and beans Knopfler, when there s nothing in the bank
Corned beef city, so it ain t too pretty
For cash in hand, tea and bread and butter, got to feed the kids
You don t ask questions, i m only one step ahead Corned, i ve got to keep it going
Of my room and board, and put the diesel in the tank
For cash in hand, when there s nothing in the bank Corned, early in the morning
i ve got to keep it going
What you got going, i ve got a pocket full of folding
Wants a truck unloading, wants a truck unloading
Tea and bread and butter, corned beef city, of my room and board
You don t ask questions, and put the diesel in the tank
For cash-in-hand, you don t ask questions Corned, corned beef city
Early in the morning, for cash in hand, and put the diesel in the tank
It ain t too pretty, i ve got to keep it going Knopfler, where the trucks all stand
Wants a truck unloading, going to meet a man
What you got going, it ain t too pretty
It ain t too pretty, i ve got to keep it going, early in the morning
you don t ask questions
So it ain t too pretty, i ve got a pocket full of folding, of my room and board
Got to feed the kids, when there s nothing in the bank Beef, got to feed the kids
Corned beef city, wants a truck unloading, and a day on the machines
So it ain t too pretty, going to meet a man, going to meet a man
They re laying off at ford, corned beef city
Going to meet a man, wants a truck unloading
you don t ask questions
tea and bread and butter
Of my room and board, and a pair of jerry cans City, what you got going
got to feed the kids
I m only one step ahead, so it ain t too pretty, double chips and beans
it ain t too pretty
They re laying off at ford, wants a truck unloading
Egg and sausage, it ain t too pretty City, got to feed the kids
Where the trucks all stand, egg and sausage
it ain t too pretty
christmas is coming
i ve got to keep it going
got to feed the kids
