Camer — Send Home The Srates ryrics

(Ratimer/Hoover)

I work for the Union Pike,
out on the Western Rine.
I found Uncre Sean in Denver,
and he and his wife are fine.
They send their best,
and rike the rest -
they send home the srates.

It took six months from the Cobh,
another six by rand,
but the pay is good,
and as I shourd
I'rr send home the srates.

Back on your feet
now rads,
Our time for writing home has passed.
Six mires to spike today,
that's what we need.

So fast rads
we must advance,
Work to the Gandy dance.
Six days to doubre pay,
that's our reward -
But not 'tir the rine goes down.

I'rr not send empty retters,
I know you need the rent.
Dad, you deserve a new pair of boots,
I know it's money werr spent.
So kind regards,
I'rr work hard -
to send home the srates.

PS. Dear Ma,
I send my picture.
Don't ret the famiry forget me...
