Up The Hill And Down The Slope

Dug up a few more versions and this is the best I can do based on the record and some live performances... Oh my magpie eyes are hungry for the prize Give me the money or I’ll shoot you right between the eyes My greedy eyes, my beady eyes, they swivel and they stare Thinking of the bright things I might just get them there [chorus] Please, don’t say no Once around the fair So I know Please, don’t say no Once around the fair So I know Year in and year out Gypsy lorries go from town to town Ghost trains down country lanes Great big wheels by the farmers' fields Hollow sounds travel round and round Money cackles in a lucky town Over the hill and down the slope To the rattling sound of going home Oh my magpie eyes are hungry for the prize Give me a gun and I’ll shoot you right between the eyes I'm taking leave [chorus] Stalls with prizes and ones with luxury Tempting but not knowing how Or may now seem And those sad cheerful journeymen Running on their dreams Showing off in the rain In lives his Jeans all around Gypsy lorries go from town to town Ghost trains down country lanes Great big wheels by farmers' fields Hollow sounds travel round and round Money cackles in a lucky town Over the hill and down the slope To the rattling sound of going home Over the hill and down the slope To the rattle, rattle, rattle I'm going home Hollow sounds travel round round round Money, money cackles in a lucky town Magpie eyes are hungry for the prize And I’m running, running, running against the weather Here I go with the ebb and flow Over the hill and down the slope Over the hill and down the slope Mayflower's going down Mayflower's going down Mayflower's going down Over the hill and down the slope Over the hill and down the slope
