On en a fait des miles
À pied ou en train
Sur des wagons ouverts
Que nous prenions, clandestins
On a suivi les rails
Pourvu qu'ils aillent loin
Vers une vie meilleure
Un boulot et du pain
{Refrain:}
Vagabonds, nous étions
Sans un rond
Et aux quatre vents
Nous bourlinguions
Nous avions laissé derrière nous l'Ulster
Pour une vie de routard, de misère
Les villes industrielles
Du Nord-Ouest, on connaît
Ils nous l'ont jouée belle
Quand les usines ont fermé
L'acier, le charbon
On a tout essayé
Toujours en rêvant
D'aller vers l'océan
{au Refrain, x2}
J'ai croisé des hommes
Aussi démunis que moi
Des bêtes de somme
Qui se demandaient pourquoi
Pourquoi ce système
Qui s'écroule aujourd'hui
Fait s'écrouler les rêves
De toute une vie
{au Refrain, x2}
