Luyện nghe bài hát Why Paddys Not At Work Today

It's on a Clancy Brothers CD "Live Robby O'Connel" or somesuch. The
is called "Dear Boss."
Dear Boss I write this note to you to you of my plight
And at the time of writing I am not a pretty
Me body is all black and and me face a deadly gray
And I hope understand why Paddy's not at work today
I was workin' on the floor; some bricks I had to clear
And throwin' 'em down from such a was not a good idea
The foreman wasn't very pleased, he bein' an sod
And he I'd have to take them down the ladder in me hod
Now shiftin' all those bricks by it seemed so awful slow
So I hoisted up a barrel and secured a rope
But in my to do the job I was too blind to see
That a full of buildin' bricks was heaveier than me
Now I came down I cut the rope and the barrel fell like lead
And clinging tightly to the I started up instead
I shot up like a rocket and to my I found
That halfways up I met the bloody comin' down
Now the barrel broke me as to the ground it sped
And when I the top I struck the pulley with me head
I still clung on though numbed and shocked from almighty blow
And the barrel spilled out the bricks 14 floors below
Now when the bricks had fallen the barrel to the floor
I then outweighed the barrel and I started once more
Still tightly to the rope I headed for the ground
And I fell among the broken bricks that were all scatter'd
As I lay there on the floor sure I thought I'd passed the worst
Then the barrel struck the pulley wheel and didn't the burst
A shower of came down on me sure I haven't got a hope
And as I was consciousness... I let go the bloody rope
Now the it being heavier it started down once more
And it landed right across me as I lay there on the
I three ribs and my left arm and I can only say
That I hope you'll understand why Paddy's not at today
