Hungry Years – Weddings, Parties, Anything
A G D A G D
D A G
Mama, mama, come and listen now and I’ll tell you what I saw
G D
I was down by the railway gates – I was feeling bored
G D
Then a goods train rolled up clickety-clack
G D
You say there ain’t no special in that
A G D
But it was crowded down, it was loaded down
A G D
With men all wearing rags and frowns
A G D
And if you want to listen what I’ve been told
A G D G D
Tonight it’s on for young and old in our town, tonight in our town.
G D G D
Won’t you spare a smile, can’t you shed a tear
A G D
In these sad times, in these bad times in these hungry years
D A G
Some say they are pickers, they are up for honest work
G D A
Some they are just hard time men, a little bit down on their luck
G D G D
So why is it you are frowning dad, when I say they’re not that bad?
A G D
Oh they are tired men, they’re unhired men
A G D
They ain’t slept warm since who knows when
A G D
And if you want to listen, if you want to know,
A G D G D
It’s caution to the wind they’ll throw in our town, tonight in our town
G D G D
Won’t you spare a smile, can’t you shed a tear
A G D
In these sad times, in these bad times in these hungry years
D A G
We are very many, and you are very few
G D A
And if we want to steal your girls – that’s just what we will do
G D G D
‘Cause you drove us from your cities, and you drove us from your trains
A G D A G D
And we are down and out in Ouyen town, and you know we are Mildura-bound
A G D
And if you want to listen, use your brains,
A G D G D
You’d better let us join your train and leave this town – I hate your town
G D G D
Won’t you spare a smile, can’t you shed a tear
A G D
In these sad times, in these bad times in these hungry years
