the lorry ride - kate rusby & kathryn roberts lyrics

[verse 1]
oh, my love is a tall and a handsome man, the best you’ll see
and he’s gone away to the plantation to pick coffee
the recruiter says he won’t come back, i must no longer bide
but i’m waiting here until the day of the lorry ride

[chorus]
’cause my days are hard, my nights are slow and i am so alone
i’ll dream a dream that will never end till he comes home

[verse 2]
the recruiter says the odds are low, they work so hard
and he won’t get through the long hard night, the hours after dark
and that in thе fields he’ll breathе the fumes of the death insecticide
and even so, he won’t survive the lorry ride

[chorus]
’cause my days are hard, my nights are slow and i am so alone
i’ll dream a dream that will never end till he comes home

[verse 3]
oh, my love he must work a twelve hour day beneath the sun
and he’s working there for three long months, better when he’s done
and he’ll sleep beside a dying man who’s a*weeping from the burns
i fear my love won’t be so young when he returns
[chorus]
’cause my days are hard, my nights are slow and i am so alone
i’ll dream a dream that will never end till he comes home
’cause my days are hard, my nights are slow and i am so alone
i’ll dream a dream that will never end till he comes home
