Shall
Ratcliff
I read of your death in a newspaper Buried by a caved-in trench you were digging The work you did that day Did you know, Shall? It hurt to learn how you were lost that day In the work you did that dayThat day you went to work. I knew no more Until by amazing circumstance A jury summons brought your story back to me Foreman to hear a civil case of insurance claim and
counter claim They proposed to offer nothing to the woman You must have said good-bye to that morning That day you went to work. Nothing for the woman who lived with you And maybe you kissed good-bye that morning That day you went to work. We found for her, Shall. We found that she was yours, Shall We found that your insurance owed her, Shall!It owed her because you lived with her as your wife You loved her maybe On that day you went to work And that is what we owed you, Shall.
