I Work In the kitchen at an old folks home
i do my best, but i too am gettin old
i do the dishes but lately iv been droppin plates
see as i get older, my hands are startin to shake
so mr. Larkin see I got to hold this job
did you misspeak when you told me she was all far gone
mr. Larkin dock me my one weeks pay
but dont ask me to leave I cant afford that day
ten years ago, my wife took sick
so i brought her here, my job i quit
started workin for the home so i could be by her everyday
we could'nt afford the cost any other way
so mr. Larkin i know she know who i am
everynow and then, she'll squeeze my hand
it's what i live for and it's why she don't die A
so mr.Larkin won't you won't you give me this try?
I walk to work on route 27
I see the same cars pass by everyday
And through all this, New England weather
You know never once have i been late
So Mr. Larkin see I know she know who I am
Every now and then, yeah she'll squeeze my hand
It's what I live for and it's why she don't die
So Mr. Larkin won't you won't you give me this try
I see the argument youre makin
And I understand you got to do your job
And believe me I know shes turning angel
But you see this woman is all I got
So Mr. Larkin see I know she know who I am
Every now and then, yeah she'll squeeze my hand
It's what I live for and it's why she don't die
so Mr. Larkin won't you won't you give me this try
Wont you gimme this try?
Wont you gimme this try?
1 stroke
(every other line on verses substitute Dm for Am)
Oh yeah and if you dont have this cd (Us Against the Crown by State Radio), I highly recommend it.
