The scaffolder’s wife
driving out of the yard
with a face that’s as hard
as a scaffolder’s bar -
when she goes into town
she might take the top down
on the car
The quick little steps
in the stiletto boots
and the hair with the roots [bad word] in as [bad word] to get the nails done
and the tan for the sun
when the kids are in school
Don’t [bad word] her the Merc
it’s been nothing but work
and a hard life
Losing her looks [bad word] books
- the scaffolder’s wife
In the wicked old days
when they went it alone
kept [bad word] going
on a wing and a prayer
They don’t pay what they owe
when they have the cash flow
- they don’t care
Don’t [bad word] her the Merc
it’s been nothing but work
and a hard life
Losing her looks [bad word] books
- the scaffolder’s wife
