lyrics

FIREFIGHTER m.hanrahan
fire fighter wont you come
and take my pain away
fire fighter bring me water
dampen down the flame
this old house is burnin down
in ashes I will lay
firefighter bring me water
help me rise again

Take away the sad and lonely
all the trouble that surrounds me
fire fighter

sailor boy hoist your sails
take me far away
far away from stormy weather
that’s comin down my way
with a wind so high
On the waves we’ll ride
across the ocean wide
sailor boy man that riggin
lets leave this place behind
you take away the sad and lonely
all the trouble that surrounds me
sailor boy

farmer john plough your fields
bring the seed to grain
feed the hungry
fill the belly
of the traveller as he sails
a weary heart and a tired soul
will try come what may
farmer john plough your fields
help him on his way
take away the sad and lonely
all the trouble that surrounds him
take away the sad and lonely
all the trouble that surrounds him
Fire fighter wont you come
