I Can Hew

(David Dodds)

Chorus:

I can hew boys, I can hack it out
I can hew the coal, I can dance and shout.
I can hew boys, coal that's black and fine,
I'm a collier lad, working down the mine.
 
  1. On Saint Monday's day, it's well I do admire,
    When I sits at home by me own coal fire.
    Then it's off to the pub, for a glass or two
    For to work on a Monday, that would never do.

    Chorus
     

  2. Well I likes my whiskey and I likes my beer.
    I'll drink fourteen pints and I'll not feel queer.
    I can hold my liquor good as any man.
    And I'll dance and sing as long as I can.

    Chorus
     

  3. Well my boy's fourteen, he's a strappin' lad
    And he'll go to he pits soon, just like his dad.
    And when Friday comes, we'll pick up our pay.
    And we'll drink together, to round out the day.

    Chorus
     

  4. And its when I'm dead, oh I know full well,
    I'll not go to heaven, I am bound for hell.
    And my pick and shovel, old Nick he will admire,
    And he'll set me hewin' coal for his own hell fire.

    Chorus
     

Ike and Hugh

Ike and Hugh, boys, they're a couple guys.
Ike and Hugh, boys, they wear floral ties.
Ike and Hugh, boys, they both sell used cars,
And they drink lite beer, at the singles bars.
 

I Am Hugh

I am Hugh, boys, I am not the Borg.
I am Hugh, boys, and I like LeForge.
