| I shall sing you a sad story of my stonemason friend, Murphy from Erie... Herder Sings - Murphy the Stonemason wrote:
- Dear Sir I write this note to you to tell you of my plight
For at the time of writing I am not a pretty sight
Me body is all black and blue and me face a deathly grey
And I write this note to tell why I'm not at work today
While workin' on the 14th floor; some bricks I had to clear
But to toss 'em down from such a height was not a good idea
The foreman wasn't very pleased, he is an awkward sod
He said I'd have to take them down the ladders in me hod
Now shiftin' all those bricks by hand it was so very slow
So I hoisted up a barrel and secured a rope below
But in my haste to do the job I was too blind to see
That a barrel full of buildin' bricks is heaveier than me
And so when I untied the rope, the barrel fell like lead
And clinging tightly to the rope I started up instead
I shot up like a rocket 'til to my dismay I found
That halfway up I met the bloody barrel comin' down
Now the barrel broke me shoulder, as to the ground it sped
And when I reached the top I banged the pulley with me head
I clung on tightly, numbed with shock from this almighty blow
And the barrel spilled out half the bricks 14 floors below
Now when the bricks had fallen from the barrel to the floor
I then outweighed the barrel and so started down once more
Still clinging tightly to the rope, me body wracked with pain
Halfway down I met the bloody barrel once again
Now the force of this collision halfway down the office block
Caused multiple contusions and a nasty state of shock
Still clinging tightly to the rope, I fell toward the ground
And landed on the broken bricks that the barrel had scatter'd 'round
Well I lay there groaning on the ground, I thought I'd passed the worst
But the barrel hit the pulley wheel and then the bottom burst
A shower of bricks rained down on me, I didn't have a hope
For as I lay there bleeding, I let go the bloody rope
The barrel being unsecured, then started down once more
And it landed right across me as I lay there on the floor
It broke three ribs and my left arm and I can only say
That I hope you'll understand why Murphy's not at work today HH bows. | |
