Key: B minor
Verse 1
get into your workin' clothes
Up to your knees in oil and grease
G
Am
with a grindstone to your nose
When I was young and short of tongue,
a silly wee fool was I
The morn after I left the school
get into your workin' clothes
C
Am
Up to your knees in oil and grease
G
Am
with a grindstone to your nose
I bought a clock, rare wee clock
to help me tell the time
It waken me every mornin'
get into your workin' clothes
Up to your knees in oil and grease
G
Am
with a grindstone to your nose
I married a lass, a bonnie wee lass,
I kept her money a year
C
Am
But come what may, she'd start the day
G
Am
by whisperin' in my ear
Get up, get out, you lazy lout,
get into your workin' clothes
Up to your knees in oil and grease
with a grindstone to your nose
Their son can lie as long as they like,
they're luckier men than me
I never get to lie very long,
G
Am
I'm only five feet three
Get up, get out, you lazy lot,
get into your working clothes
Up to your knees in oil and grease
G
Am
with a grindstone to your nose
I'll go to work tomorrow
if you'll just let me lie in today
Get up, get out, you lazy lot,
get into your working clothes
Up to your knees in Ireland, guys,
with a grinstone to your nose.
