[Verse]
A# F A#
My father was a big strong man, he worked hard all his life
F
He was always in the whisky glass and never out of strife
D# A# Gm
He called no man his master, and very few his friend
D# A# F
G proud and stiff-necked man he was, he’d never bowed nor bend
D# A# F A#
But they broke him in the end, when they'd no use for him
[Chorus]
A# F A#
For they took away his job when they'd no use for him any more
F
After nearly thirty years they kicked him out the door
D# A# Gm
But they let him keep his railway jacket, overcoat, and cap
D# A# F
And a pension of nine bob a week, he was lucky to get that
D# A# F A#
And they nearly broke his heart, when they'd no use for him
[Verse]
A# F A#
Now I spent much of my childhood days up in that signal box
F
High in my father's castle, twenty feet above the tracks
D# A#
And crash would go the signals as he flicked them with his hand
D# A# F
And the mighty cars of steam and steel would stop at his command
D# A# F A#
And oh, but it was grand, when they had a use for him
[Chorus]
A# F A#
But they took away his job when they'd no use for him any more
F
After nearly thirty years they kicked him out the door
D# A# Gm
But they let him keep his railway jacket, overcoat, and cap
D# A# F
And a pension of nine bob a week, he was lucky to get that
D# A# F A#
And they nearly broke his heart, when they'd no use for him
[Verse]
A# F A#
When you're fifty-five years old and youre looking for some work
F
Nobody wants to know your face no-one gives you a start
D# A# Gm
So I watched him growing older and more bitter every day
D# A# F
As his pride and self-respect, well they slowly drain away
D# A# F A#
There was nothing I could say - they had no use for him
[Chorus]
A# F A#
For they took away his job when they'd no use for him any more
F
After nearly thirty years they kicked him out the door
D# A# Gm
But they let him keep his railway jacket, overcoat, and cap
D# A# F
And a pension of nine bob a week, he was lucky to get that
D# A# F A#
And they nearly broke his heart, when they'd no use for him
D# A# F F A#
Yes I know they broke his heart when they'd no use for him.
