laddie are ya workin'? - heather alexander lyrics

[verse 1]
darkness hangin’ in the sky in the morn
moonlight dyin’ as the sun is reborn*
crops are swayin’ in an island of green
hemp and teff and corn in between*

[chorus 1]
cut her low, swing her ’round
iron wire tightly bound*
thresh the teff by the mornin’ lark
lie in her arms in the still of dark*
laddie, are ya workin’?

[verse 2]
sunlight shinin’ on the heart of the land
crops are bendin’ to the part nature planned*
who’d be thinkin’ that they’d end from that start
cut and rent and shredded apart?

[chorus 1]
cut her low, swing her ’round
iron wire tightly bound*
thresh the teff by the mornin’ lark
lie in her arms in the still of dark*
laddie, are ya workin’?
[verse 3]
storm clouds gather as the hands to the field
raindrops scatter as the land’s made to yield*
body separate from its fine golden head
stalk and sheaf and chafe for a bed*

[chorus 1]
cut her low, swing her ’round
iron wire tightly bound*
thresh the teff by the mornin’ lark
lie in her arms in the still of dark*
laddie, are ya workin’?

[verse 4]
stars are twinklin’ and the moon’s risin’ high
dark is waitin’ for the sunlight to die*
memories harken to the emerald isle
sing and sleep and dream for a while*

[chorus 1]
cut her low, swing her ’round
iron wire tightly bound*
thresh the teff by the mornin’ lark
lie in her arms in the still of dark*
laddie, are ya workin’?
[chorus 2]
cut us low, swing us ’round
iron shackles tightly bound*
thresh your soul by the mornin’ lark
lie with your dreams in the dead of dark*
laddie, are ya workin’?
