歌曲歌詞
You see these work boots in my hands
They'll probably fit ye now my son
Take them they're a gift from me
Why don't you try them on
It would do your old man good to see you
Walking in these boots one day
And take your place among
The men who work upon the slipway
These dead man's boots
Though they're old and curled
When a feller needs a job and a place in the world
And it's time for a man to put down roots
And walk to the river in his old man's boots
He said "I'm nearly done and asking this
That ye do one final thing for me
You're barely but a sapling
And you think that you're a tree
If ye need a seed to prosper
Ye must first put down some roots
Just one foot then the other
In these dead man's boots "
These dead man's boots know
Their way down the hill
They could walk there themselves
And they probably will
There's a place for ye there to sink your roots
And take a walk down the river in these dead man's boots
I said "Why in the Hell would I do that
And why would I agree "
When his hand was all that I'd received
