Come Me Little Son Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Come me little son[F]
and I will [G]tell you [C]what we'll do
Undress yourself and [F]get into [C]bed
and a tale I'll tell [F]to you
It's all [C]about [F]your daddy,
[C]he's a man you seldom [F]see
He's had [C]to roam [F]far away from home,
away [C]from you and me
But remember, lad, [F]he's still your dad,
[C]though he's working far [F]away
In the cold [C]and heat,
[F]eighty hours a week
on England's [C]motorway
When you fall [F]and hurt yourself
and get [C]up feeling bad
Yet his aunt Annie
[F]used to go [C]a -runnin' for your [F]dad
For [C]the only time since
[F]you was [C]born
he's had to stay with [F]you
He was [C]out of a job and
we [F]hadn't a bob
He was [G]signing [C]on the pro
Remember lad,
he is [F]still your [C]dad
And he really earns his [F]pay
Working [C]day and night
[F]Upon the side [G]of England's [C]motorway
To buy your shoes
[F]Your daddy built a length [C]of railway track
He built a hydro [F]dam
To buy [C]the clothes upon [F]your back
This motor [C]high[F]way buys the [C]food,
but the wages soon [F]are spent.
And [C]though we have [F]to live apart,
it [G]helps to [C]pay the rent.
But remember lad, he is [F]still your [C]dad,
and he's toiling every [F]day.
But there's [C]food to be had
and it's [F]thanks to your dad
on [G]England's [C]motorway.[F][G]
[C]Sure we nee[F]d your daddy here
and [G]sure it [C]would be fine
To have him workin' [F]near [C]home
and to see him all the [F]time
But beggars [C]can't [F]be choosers
and [C]we have to bear [F]our load
For [C]we need the money [F]your daddy earns,
oh, work[C]ing on the road
So remember that he [F]is still your dad
an[C]d he'll soon be here [F]to stay
For [C]a week or two [F]with me
and you
and these built [C]the motorway.
