U.M.W. Pension Lyrics
i’ve left what’s left of me on the shores of the Eerie
on the shores of the Eerie
and i’ve crawled ne’er so
home sickwardly home
so home sickwardly home
it goes Hayfoot with strawfoot
ya throw down(throw down)
and this they’ll say serves me rightly(x2)
so i’d give o’er plainly, this journians luckless cause
if I weren’t so lucky
it goes hayfoot with strawfoot ya throw down(throw down)
and this they’ll say serves me rightly(x2)
on the shores of the Eerie
and i’ve crawled ne’er so
home sickwardly home
so home sickwardly home
it goes Hayfoot with strawfoot
ya throw down(throw down)
and this they’ll say serves me rightly(x2)
so i’d give o’er plainly, this journians luckless cause
if I weren’t so lucky
it goes hayfoot with strawfoot ya throw down(throw down)
and this they’ll say serves me rightly(x2)
