Hungry Years � Weddings, Parties, Anything

A G D A G D

D A G
Mama, mama, come and listen now and I�ll tell you what I saw
G D
I was down by the railway gates � I was feeling bored
G D
Then a goods train rolled up clickety-clack

G D
You say there ain�t no special in that
A G D
But it was crowded down, it was loaded down
A G D
With men all wearing rags and frowns
A G D
And if you want to listen what I�ve been told
A G D G D
Tonight it�s on for young and old in our town, tonight in our town.

G D G D
Won�t you spare a smile, can�t you shed a tear
A G D
In these sad times, in these bad times in these hungry years

D A G
Some say they are pickers, they are up for honest work
G D A
Some they are just hard time men, a little bit down on their luck
G D G D
So why is it you are frowning dad, when I say they�re not that bad?
A G D
Oh they are tired men, they�re unhired men
A G D
They ain�t slept warm since who knows when
A G D
And if you want to listen, if you want to know,
A G D G D
It�s caution to the wind they�ll throw in our town, tonight in our town

G D G D
Won�t you spare a smile, can�t you shed a tear
A G D
In these sad times, in these bad times in these hungry years

D A G
We are very many, and you are very few
G D A
And if we want to steal your girls � that�s just what we will do
G D G D
�Cause you drove us from your cities, and you drove us from your trains
A G D A G D
And we are down and out in Ouyen town, and you know we are Mildura-bound
A G D
And if you want to listen, use your brains,
A G D G D
You�d better let us join your train and leave this town � I hate your town

G D G D
Won�t you spare a smile, can�t you shed a tear
A G D
In these sad times, in these bad times in these hungry years
