Luyện nghe bài hát Why Paddys Not At Work Today

It's on a Clancy Brothers CD "Live Robby O'Connel" or somesuch. The
song is "Dear Boss."
Dear Boss I this note to you to tell you of my plight
And at the time of writing I am not a pretty
Me is all black and blue 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 was not a good idea
The foreman wasn't pleased, he bein' 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 slow
So I up a barrel and secured a rope below
But in my haste to do the job I was too to see
That a barrel full of bricks was heaveier than me
Now when I came down I cut the and the barrel fell like lead
And clinging tightly to the I started up instead
I shot up a rocket and to my dismay I found
That up I met the bloody barrel comin' down
Now the barrel broke me shoulder as to the it sped
And when I reached the top I struck the pulley me head
I still clung on though numbed and shocked from this almighty
And the spilled out half the bricks 14 floors below
Now when the bricks had fallen the barrel to the floor
I then outweighed the and I started down once more
Still clinging to the rope I headed for the ground
And I fell among the broken bricks that 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 came down on me sure I haven't got a hope
And as I was losing consciousness... I let go the rope
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
I hope you'll understand why Paddy's not at work today
