Goodbye To The Country - Field Music

We’ll say goodbye to the old place

Don’t look at the faces left

I’m sure it’ll be good fun

Making money at your kids' expense

To a place where everything’s easy

Feeding my baby with stamps

And if they ask, why did you come?

(Don't you know) there’s a real war on?

(Did the papers not) tell you about it?

Don’t you worry, I will be fine

(With a knife at my neck and my very last dime)

I got a job in an office block

(With a swish canteen and an Oxbridge tie)

And if I get sick my sister will treat me

(I hear it’s all free and so a- f- f- easy)

And if they ask, why did you come?

(Don't you know) there’s a real war on?

(Did the papers not) tell you about it?

(Don't you know) there’s a real war on?

(Did the papers not) tell you?

And if they ask, why did you come?

And if they say I should go home

Send me back where I belong

Take a walk with me, I’ll show you some

(So you know)

(So you know)
