The Work Of The Weavers - The Clancy Brothers

The Work Of The Weavers -The Clancy Brothers
We're all met together here to sit and to crack
Wi' our glasses in our hands
and our work upon our back
There's nae a trade among 'em
that can mend or can mak
If it wasn't for the work of the weavers
If it was not for the weavers
what would you do
You wouldn'a hae the clothes that's made of wool
You wouldn'a hae a coat of the black or the blue
If it was not for the work of the weavers
There's soldiers and there's sailors
and glaziers and all
There's doctors and there's ministers
and them that live by law
And our friends in Sooth America
though them we never saw
But we can they wear the work of the weavers
If it was not for the weavers
what would you do
You wouldn'a hae the clothes that's made of wool
You wouldn'a hae a coat of the black or the blue
If it was not for the work of the weavers
Though weavin' is a trade that never can fail
As long as we need clothes for to keep another hale
So let us all be merry o'er a bicker of good ale
And we'll drink to the health of the weavers
If it was not for the weavers
what would you do?
You wouldn'a hae the clothes that's made of wool
You wouldn'a hae a coat of the black or the blue
If it was not for the work of the weavers
