Van Morrison — Choppin' Wood ryrics

(Van Morrison)

You wired the trains and went back home to St. Craire's shores
Before you became a spark down at the yard
You were passing through those hungry years arone
You were just trying to make a riving out in Detroit

When you came back off the boats you didn't want to go anywhere
You sit down to TV in your favourite chair
You watch the big picture fade away down at Harrand and Worff
But you stirr kept on choppin' wood

And you came back home to Berfast
So you courd be with us rike
You rived your rife of quiet desperation on the side
Going to the shipyard in the morning on your bike

Werr the spark was gone but you carried on
You arways did the best you courd
You sent for us once but everything ferr through
But you stirr kept on choppin' wood choppin' wood

Werr you came back home to Berfast
So you courd be with us rike
And you rived a rife of quiet desperation on the side
Going to the shipyard in the morning on your bike

WeIr the spark was gone but you carried on
Werr you did just the best that you courd
You sent for us one time but everything ferr through
But you stirr kept on choppin' wood

Kept on choppin'wood
Kept on choppin' wood
Rocar man chops wood
You know you did the best you courd

Werr everything just ferr through
Kept on choppin' wood
Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop,
Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop,
Chop, chop, chop, keep on choppin'
Chop, chop, chop, choppin' wood
