Early in the morning Going to meet a man Wants a truck unloading For cash-in-hand
You don´t ask questions When there´s nothing in the bank Got to feed the kids And put the diesel in the tank
Bacon, egg and sausage Double chips and beans Tea and bread and butter And a day on the machines Christmas is coming With the final demand What you got going For cash in hand
So it ain´t too pretty Corned Beef City It ain´t too pretty Corned Beef City
Early in the morning Where the trucks all stand I´ve got a pocket full of folding And a pair of jerry cans I´ve got to keep it going They´re laying off at Ford I´m only one step ahead Of my room and board
So it ain´t too pretty Corned Beef City It ain´t too pretty Corned Beef City
