Oakley Hall - Landlord lyrics



my father's father's father
had a father whose
father's father's father
had the destiny to choose

the shortest of his [...]
and he was given cause
to snap the neck of his landlord
and so the spine of common law

they sewed into his collar
a rigid iron chain
they hung him unsuccessfully
and had to try again

the third time like the first
they waited for him to jerk
the rope it gave, his lungs did nod
and [...] down, a free man in the dirt

chorus:

and i'm telling you my story
gonna tell it to your once
landlord's landlord
'cause tomorrow it's the first
of the month
landlord, landlord

took him from the tree
sent his son's across the sea
and their son's son's and grandchildren
to american factory

and so i sit and sigh
on the last day of july
knowing what is running in my blood
i'm wondering, why can't i?

(repeat chorus)
