From: GUEST,Poverty Knocks Can anyone help - I'm looking for the words to a song which I think may be called "In The Course of Business", or at least contains these words? I heard it a while ago and can't find anything which resembles it! Sorry for so little to go on. PK |

From: cnd Here's the lyrics via https://www.meneelyvansante.co.uk/resources/Partners-II/In-the-course-of-business.pdf The same band (Meneely Van Sante) has a performance of it which you can hear here In the Course of Business by Ewen Carruthers In the course of business I often travel North Keeps my soul together for what it's worth In the course of business many stories I do hear Mostly go in one side and out the other ear Mostly go in one side and out the other ear But here is one small story that I wish to tell Names I don’t remember the substance I know well I had to meet an old man some papers for to sign He said it was his birthday and he was 89 He said it was his birthday and he was 89 I wished him happy birthday and handed him my pen But he had trouble signing, he had to try again Explaining that it was not age, but a wound from the Great War I got it at the Somme, son, just like many more I got it at the Somme, son, just like many more Six lads from the village all under 21 Only two returning, this old man was one No one ever told them what they were fighting for Oh no, said the old man, I didn’t like the war Oh no, said the old man, I didn’t like the war In the course of business I really had to go As I packed my briefcase, I asked him one thing more As he answered my last question I had to turn away [I asked] Do you still think of them? He said, Aye lad, every day [I asked] Do you still think of them? He said, Aye lad, every day |
