lyrics

Swagmen

Tonight I’ll be sleeping in the hay
Like some kind of Jesus child
I been walking for a million years
Low ways and mountain trails
I call in on the to and fro
To places you would never go
Make a fire and boil a can
And wonder where the wind might blow

To night I’ll be sleeping in the hay
Like some kinda Jesus child

Some run from me and some remain
To talk about the wider world
Cos I’ve seen a lots in those city lanes
When the welcome mat gets whisked away
I worked awhile when times were good
Slept in sheet and ate hot food
I’ve been down and I’ve been out
Somethings you wouldn’t want to know

Tonight I’ll be sleeping like a baby like some kinda Jesus child

Sleepin in the hay
Walking
Walking
Walking
Stayin out of the human race

A priest he traced a cross on me
Come to the church and set you free
But some things a man just can’t un-see
Will always haunt his soul
So I’ll set me down in this fair land
And take my chances with a kindly hand
Tonight I’ll wait and watch the moon
Tomorrow will be here too soon

Tonight I’ll be sleeping in the hay like some kinda Jesus child
