Belt Buckle and Steel .
Capo 2nd

Three weeks of heaven
Three days of hell
When me father came home
From that cold northern swell
With his shiny belt buckle
Hands hard like steel
We had three day of hell
And three weeks to heal

Like his father before him
His heart was turned cold
By the freezing north wind
Like the ice in the hold
Three days in the pub
With his mates and his whores
When the moneys all gone
Comes a knock at our door

Three weeks of heaven
Three days of hell
When me father came home
From that cold northern swell
With his shiny belt buckle
Hands hard like steel
We had three day of hell
And three weeks to heal

Us kids would all tremble
Me mother would cry
When me father turned up
With that look in his eye
His rage new no mercy
To protect us she tried
But each time he came home
A small part of her died

Three weeks of heaven
Three days of hell
When me father came home
From that cold northern swell
With his shiny belt buckle
Hands hard like steel
We had three day of hell
And three weeks to heal






Instrument Chorus

Those hard days are over
But I cry when I tell
Of those three days of heaven
And three days of hell
Us kids are all grown up
All of us done well
But me mothers in heaven now
I hope that bastards in hell

Three weeks of heaven
Three days of hell
When me father came home
From that cold northern swell
With his shiny belt buckle
Hands hard like steel
We had three day of hell
And three weeks to heal

We had three days of hell
And a lifetime to heal.
