This is not a request for the Bob Dylan version of this. This one goes back a lot further and it a work song. Starts off: If I'd a known my captain was blind, darling; If I'd a known my captain was blind, darling If I'd a known my captain was blind, well I wouldn't've gone to work till half past nine, darling. I asked my captain for the time of day, darling ... Chorus: It takes rocks and gravel, well To make a mighty fine road, lordy mama It take rocks and gravel to make a solid road. Halifax Three seem to be the only group to have recorded it (according to the Folk Music Index of Recordings), which I find bizarre. It's a cool song.
