WHEN THE SHIPYARDS GO BACK ON FULL TIME Songwriter?? Ah, sure if the news it is true The shop bill's the first thing I'll pay A new pair of boots and a warm woolen suit And a telly for Maggie, horray. Me old faded shirt I will throw in the dirt In a silk one, won't I look in style And the very first chance I'll put Davy in pants When the shipyards go back on full time. Our troubles are over Mrs. woman For Clancy next door tells me straight The shipyards go full time on Monday That's what he says any rate Sure the boss has just told him this morning While he was collecting the dole That a big one is starting in Belfast And the shipyards are out of the hole. Ah, sure if..... Mrs. Campbell throw out your old washtub The laundry will get all our trade No more picking coal from the gasworks We'll buy everything ready made We'll make this job last until Christmas Then won't we be living in style Put another big spud in the soup pot For the shipyards are back on full time. Ah, sure if..... |

17 Sep 12 - 10:00 PM (#3406529) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When the Shipyards Go Back on Full Time From: GUEST This is derived from the 19th century song from the Pennsylvanian coalfields: 'When the breaker starts up full time'. See this thread: 46778. On a similar theme, see also 'Last winter was a hard one', sometimes titled 'When McGuinness gets a job'. It was recorded by Joe Hickerson on 'Drive Dull Care Away Vol II'. The lyrics are in the DT. --Stewie. |

24 Apr 20 - 07:38 AM (#4048061) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When the Shipyards Go Back on Full Time From: DonMeixner I have been away from this site for quite awhile. And some how I returned to this thread. I had worked in a shipyard, well Boatyard building fishing boats for the off shore fisheries in the Atlantic. The economy at the time went to hell and the building boats was disappearing as a way of life for me. The only job I ever loved. Then I heard this song at a concert and thought it would be a good fit in the band I was in. So I asked about the song not finding it anywhere else. Good things are worth waiting for. Except now I can't find When The Mills are Back On Full time. Oh well, on with the search. Don Meixner |
