Dominic Behan - William Brown

 
0
Copied!

{Verse 1}
A nice young man was William Brown
Who worked for a wage in Liverpool town
He worked from eight 'til twelve at night
Turning a wheel from left to right

{Chorus}
So keep that wheel a-turning
Keep that wheel a-turning
You gotta keep that wheel a-turning
And do a little more each day

{Verse 2}
One day the boss to William came
And he said "Look here young what's-your-name
We're not content with what you do
Work a little harder or it's out with you"

{Chorus}
So keep that wheel a-turning
Keep that wheel a-turning
Keep that wheel a-turning
And do a little more each day

{Verse 3}
William turned with the same sweet smile
And oh, the goods grew such a pile
He filled the room and the room next door
And they overflowed to the basement floor

{Chorus}
Keep that wheel a-turnin'
Keep that wheel a-turnin'
You gotta keep that wheel a-turnin'
And do a little more each day

{Verse 4}
The nation heard of his wond'rous tale
And the picture appeared in the sketch in the Mail
The papers ran excursions down
Oh, to look at William Brown!

{Chorus}
So keep that wheel a-turnin'
Keep that wheel a-turnin'
You gotta keep that wheel a-turnin'
And do a little more each day

{Verse 5}
But sad the sequel is to tell
He turned out more than his boss could sell
The market slumped and the price went down
Seven more days and they sacked young Brown

{Chorus}
So keep that wheel a-turnin'
Keep that wheel a-turnin'
You gotta keep that wheel a-turnin'
And do a little more each day
