The scaffolders wife

Drivin out of the yard

With a face thats as hard
As a scaffolders bar

When she goes into town
She might take the top down

On the car

The quick little steps

In the stiletto boots

And the hair with the roots
She comes in as a rule
To get the nails done
And the tan for the sun

When the kids are in school

Dont begrudge her the Merc
Its been nothin but work and a hard life

Losin her looks over company books

The scaffolders wife

In the wicked old days
When they went it alone

Kept the company goin

On a wing and a prayer
They dont pay what they owe
When they have the cash flow

They dont care

Dont begrudge her the Merc
Its been nothin but work and a hard life

Losin her looks over company books
