DOWN AT THE DOCKS My wife and children claim that I'm Nobody's fool So how come I wasn't wise enough to crack those books and drag myself through school My kin came from the old country they were lucky to get out alive I guess I shoulda predicted that these golden days could not survive DOWN AT THE DOCKS South of the city Work is starting to slow DOWN AT THE DOCKS Life isn't pretty anymore The honchos read the news about the cargo letdown They claimed the chinese container ships were cutting back the traffic coming to town Any day now my uncle will retire and give me his longshore card But even when you're already union, well, from now on - its gonna get hard. DOWN AT THE DOCKS South of the city Work is starting to slow DOWN AT THE DOCKS Life isn't pretty anymore Every minute of everyday I'll be standing in line Little darlin' please don't worry Someday soon everything will work out fine DOWN AT THE DOCKS South of the city Work is starting to slow DOWN AT THE DOCKS Life isn't pretty anymore A shoreman on my block claims he stumbled into luck If I go join his team then we can run a plan to snatch a delivery truck I thought a lot about it but my luck's out for a ride And even if we some how pulled it off I let my concious be my guide DOWN AT THE DOCKS South of the city Work is starting to slow DOWN AT THE DOCKS Life isn't pretty anymore |
