choppin' wood (2024) - van morrison lyrics
[verse 1]
you wired the trains and went back home to st. clair shores
‘fore you became a spark down at the yard
you were passing through those hungry years alone
just trying to make a living out in detroit
[verse 2]
came back off the boats, you didn’t want to go anywhere
sit down to tv in your favorite chair
watch the big picture fade down at harland and wolff
but you still kept on choppin’ wood
[bridge]
came back home to belfast
you could be with us like
you were working hard, overtime at the yard
morning, noon and night
[verse 3]
spark was there and you really did care
did the best you could
sent for us one time everything fell through
had to keep on choppin’ wood, chop, chop, chop
[instrumental break]
[bridge]
came back home to belfast
so you could be with us like
you were working hard, overtime at the yard
morning, noon and night
[verse 4]
spark was there and you really did care
kept on digging that jazz
bechet, armstrong, jelly roll
and all that dixieland
[verse 5]
choppin’ wood
everything got hard
working down at the yard
down at harland and wolff
had to keep on choppin’ wood
down at harland and wolff
[saxophone solo]
[outro]
down at harland and wolff
