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 tell you of my
And at the time of I am not a pretty sight
Me body is all black and and me face a deadly gray
And I hope you'll understand why Paddy's not at today
I was workin' on the 14th floor; some I had to clear
And throwin' 'em down from such a height was not a good
The foreman wasn't very pleased, he an awful sod
And he said I'd have to them down the ladder in me hod
Now shiftin' all those bricks by hand it seemed so awful
So I hoisted up a barrel and secured a below
But in my haste to do the job I was too to see
That a full of buildin' bricks was heaveier than me
Now when I came down I cut the rope and the barrel fell like
And clinging tightly to the rope I started up
I shot up a rocket and to my dismay I found
halfways up I met the bloody barrel comin' down
Now the barrel broke me shoulder as to the ground it
And when I reached the top I struck the with me head
I still clung on though numbed and shocked this almighty blow
And the barrel spilled out half the bricks 14 below
Now when the bricks had fallen the barrel to the floor
I then outweighed the barrel and I started down more
clinging tightly to the rope I headed for the ground
And I fell among the broken bricks that all scatter'd 'round
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 bottom
A shower of came down on me sure I haven't got a hope
And as I was losing consciousness... I let go the bloody
Now the barrel it heavier it started down once more
And it landed right across me as I lay there on the
I broke ribs and my left arm and I can only say
That I you'll understand why Paddy's not at work today
