Treadmill Song - 2010 Remastered Version
Step in young man, I know your face It's nothing in your favor A little time I'll give to you Six months unto hard labor
With me hip, fol the day, me hip, fol the day Me hip, fol the day, fol the digee, oh
At six o'clock the screw comes in A bunch of keys all in his hand Step up my lads, step up in time And tread the wheel 'til breakfast time
With me hip, fol the day, me hip, fol the day Me hip, fol the day, fol the digee, oh
And at eight o'clock the skilly comes in It's sometimes thick and it's sometimes thin And never a word dare we all say Or it's bread and water all next day
With me hip, fol the day, me hip, fol the day Me hip, fol the day, fol the digee, oh
At half past eight the bell do ring And off to the chapel boys we must swing Down on our bended knees we fall Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The Lord have mercy on us all
With me hip, fol the day, me hip, fol the day Me hip, fol the day, fol the digee, oh
And at nine o'clock the jangle ring And all on the trap boys we must spring Step up my lads, step up in time The wheel's to tread and the corn's to grind
With me hip, fol the day, me hip, fol the day Me hip, fol the day, fol the digee, oh
Now Saturday's come I am sorry to say For Sunday is starvation day Our hob-nail boots and our tin mugs too They are not shined and they will not do
With me hip, fol the day, me hip, fol the day Me hip, fol the day, fol the digee, oh
When six long months are gone and past Then I'll return to my bonny, bonny lass I'll leave the turnkeys all behind The wheel to tread and the corn to grind
