Luyện nghe bài hát Why Paddys Not At Work Today

It's on a Clancy Brothers CD "Live with 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 I am not a pretty sight
Me body is all black and blue and me face a 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 height was not a good
The foreman wasn't pleased, he bein' an awful sod
And he said I'd have to take them the ladder in me hod
Now shiftin' all those bricks by it seemed so awful slow
So I hoisted up a barrel and a rope below
But in my haste to do the job I was too to see
a barrel full of buildin' bricks was heaveier than me
Now when I came down I cut the and the barrel fell like lead
And clinging tightly to the rope I up instead
I shot up like a rocket and to my I found
halfways up I met the bloody barrel comin' down
Now the broke me shoulder as to the ground it sped
And I reached the top I struck the pulley with me head
I still clung on though numbed and shocked from almighty blow
And the spilled out half the bricks 14 floors below
Now when the bricks had from the barrel to the floor
I then outweighed the and I started down once more
clinging tightly to the rope I headed for the ground
And I fell among the broken that were all scatter'd 'round
As I lay there moaning on the sure I thought I'd passed the worst
Then the barrel the pulley wheel and didn't the bottom burst
A shower of bricks 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 being heavier it down once more
And it landed right across me as I lay there on the
I broke three ribs and my left arm and I can say
I hope you'll understand why Paddy's not at work today
