CUT THE GRASS

(by Paul Kelly)

	Oh holidays me ass! sure I've got to cut the grass
	Blow your horn, Maggie, if you want to get past 
	Oh keep her goin', keep her blowin', the wind is at me back 
	Big Paddy's goin' mental and he's about to crack 
		Cutter, tedder, baler, wrapper, going around the clock 
		Tippin', rippin', breakin', leakin', hear that engine knock

Sowin', growin', mowin', it's silage time again 
You and me and the big SP prayin' for no rain 
Tippin' trailers, pullin' balers, smell the fresh cut grass 
Keeper lift, fill the pit, it's summer time at last 

	Oh holidays me ass! sure I've got to cut the grass
	Blow your horn, Maggie, if you want to get past 
	Oh keep her goin', keep her blowin', the wind is at me back 
	Big Paddy's goin' mental and he's about to crack 
		Cutter, tedder, baler, wrapper, going around the clock 
		Tippin', rippin', breakin', leakin', hear that engine knock

No holidays for me, nor lyin' by the sea
I'm the king of each wheel with 200 horses under me
A bowl of stew, a ham sammwich, and a pint of stout
Fair play to you, Big Annie, you surely filled me up

	Oh holidays me ass! sure I've got to cut the grass
	Blow your horn, Maggie, if you want to get past 
	Oh keep her goin', keep her blowin', the wind is at me back 
	Big Paddy's goin' mental and he's about to crack 
		Cutter, tedder, baler, wrapper, going around the clock 
		Tippin', rippin', breakin', leakin', hear that engine knock

Young McGee just turned eighteen, mad as hell and crazy keen
Forty quid and he drives all day, twenty fags and he'll bale the hay
Buyin' parts has broke me heart -- am I stupid or am I smart?
What's the good in a donkey if you don't have a cart?

	Oh holidays me ass! sure I've got to cut the grass
	Blow your horn, Maggie, if you want to get past 
	Oh keep her goin', keep her blowin', the wind is at me back 
	Big Paddy's goin' mental and he's about to crack 

	Oh holidays me ass! sure I've got to cut the grass
	Blow your horn, Maggie, if you want to get past 
	Oh keep her goin', keep her blowin', the wind is at me back 
	Big Paddy's goin' mental and he's about to crack 
	
		Cutter, tedder, baler, wrapper, going around the clock 
		Tippin', rippin', breakin', leakin', hear that engine knock 

		Cutter, tedder, baler, wrapper, going around the clock 
		Tippin', rippin', breakin', leakin', hear that engine knock
