[length: 03:52]
[00:15.12]The scaffolder’s wife
[00:18.66]Drivin’ out of the yard
[00:20.80]With a face that’s as hard
[00:23.39]As a scaffolder’s bar
[00:25.75]When she goes into town
[00:27.78]She might take the top down
[00:30.09]On the car
[00:34.25]The quick little steps
[00:36.94]In the stiletto boots
[00:39.44]And the hair with the roots
[00:41.34]She comes in as a rule
[00:43.54]To get the nails done
[00:46.18]And the tan for the sun
[00:48.44]When the kids are in school
[00:50.81]Don’t begrudge her the Merc
[00:54.97]It’s been nothin’ but work and a hard life
[01:02.22]Losin’ her looks over company books
[01:06.52]The scaffolder’s wife
[01:34.94]In the wicked old days
[01:36.36]When they went it alone
[01:38.37]Kept the company goin’
[01:40.59]On a wing and a prayer
[01:42.88]They don’t pay what they owe
[01:45.02]When they have the cash flow
[01:47.52]They don’t care
[01:51.18]Don’t begrudge her the Merc
[01:53.98]It’s been nothin’ but work and a hard life
[02:01.90]Losin’ her looks over company books
[02:06.70]The scaffolder’s wife, the scaffolder’s wife
