Hill of Plenty Lyrics & Tabs by Fleadh
Hill of Plenty
guitar chords lyrics
Well I built my house of stone and of strong wood
And I built it sturdy, I built it sturdy, I have a horse of almost 18 hands
Made for working, made for working,
My children they are tall and they stand proud
Just like their father, just like their mother
And my wife she keeps me warm deep in the night
That's when we slumber, that's when we slumber
But the moneymen are running 'round the country
Pushing money into our hands
Make us feel like we have risen to the gentry
And that you can reach the Hill of Plenty
I have seen some men work hard down on their knees
It makes them stronger, it makes them stronger
When they close their eyes at night they find their peace
They might live longer, they might live longer
It makes them stronger, it makes them stronger
When they close their eyes at night they find their peace
They might live longer, they might live longer
I have seen some rich men begging in the streets
They once flew higher, they once flew higher
In the queue they look the same as you and me
And that's not surprising, and that's not surprising
But the moneymen are running 'round the country
Pushing money into our hands
Make us feel like we have risen to the gentry
And that you can reach the Hill of Plenty
Ah the moneymen they leaving our poor countrywith our money in their hands
Now you know that we will never be the gentry
And that we won't reach the Hill of Plenty
