Willy Robbins was a hard workin’ fellow | |
an' each morning he’d kiss his wife twice an' tell her | |
Oh sweetie I know we’re just starting out | |
but down at work that tower’s still being built | |
And Mr. Taylor I think he told me | |
not until that tower’s built would he pay me | |
so Willy picked up his hard hat, gloves and pail | |
and he combed back his graying hairs | |
By noon each room would be tidied and clean | |
by nine Willy would be back in time to eat | |
then like many workin' men he’d shower, watch TV | |
and beside his dear wife he’d fall fast asleep | |
Yet two weeks passed by an' the check never came | |
Mr. Taylor holds his initial claim | |
the building undone, no money to be seen | |
Willy and his wife with little to eat | |
The pay week gone, yet it was she who grew tired | |
the man she married she no longer admired | |
the house dirty, the heat pipes cough | |
the jam jars nearly empty, the apples soft | |
the bedroom dusty, the bedsheets unmade | |
while Willy sleeps Margaret lies awake | |
was it her time to leave, she did contemplate | |
Each night at the bus depot Willy waits alone | |
for the no. 35 to take him home | |
his arms weary, his tongue bound | |
like Sisyphus he feels unearthing a rock from the ground | |
just to push it up a mountain to watch it roll back down | |
Willy Robbins was the hardest workin' fellow in town |
Willy Robbins was a hard workin' fellow | |
an' each morning he' d kiss his wife twice an' tell her | |
Oh sweetie I know we' re just starting out | |
but down at work that tower' s still being built | |
And Mr. Taylor I think he told me | |
not until that tower' s built would he pay me | |
so Willy picked up his hard hat, gloves and pail | |
and he combed back his graying hairs | |
By noon each room would be tidied and clean | |
by nine Willy would be back in time to eat | |
then like many workin' men he' d shower, watch TV | |
and beside his dear wife he' d fall fast asleep | |
Yet two weeks passed by an' the check never came | |
