My man is leaving

I want to get drunk so I won’t think about it,I want to cry and laugh this very night,to sing with a a lot of rageto shout to the moon: my man is leavingmy man is leaving, my man is leaving

Our men are leaving and going awayand if all goes well, we’ll meet in a year.This is our life, sweet Jesus,they're going to Germany crying and sufferingcrying and suffering, crying and suffering

Daddy why do you have to go? Tell me whyBecause that’s life, poor little children,the poor guy is working and sweatingto fatten his bosses with his labourwith his labour, with his labour

I’m hearing the band, I’m hearing the musicI’m here with you but I pay heed to the train tooI’m thinking about the dark mineby working there people are dyingpeople are dying, people are dying
