Christy Moore - Don't Forget Your Shovel Lyrics
Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work
Oh don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work
Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work
Or you'll end up where you came from like the rest of us
Diggin', diggin', diggin'...
And don't forget your shoes and socks and shirt and tie and all
Don't forget your shoes and socks and shirt and tie and all
Mr murphy's afraid you'll make a claim if you take a fall
("How's it goin'" "not too bad")
And we want to go to heaven but we're always diggin' holes
We want to go to heaven but we're always diggin' holes
Yeah we want to go to heaven but we're always diggin' holes
Well there's one thing you can say... we know where we are goin'
("Any chance of a start?" "no" "okay")
And if you want to do it... don't you do it against the wall
If you want to do it... don't you do it against the wall
Never seen a toilet on a building site at all
There's a shed up in the corner where they won't see you at all
("Mind your sandwiches")
Enoch Powell will give us a job, diggin' our way to annascaul
Enoch Powell will give us a job, diggin' our way to annascaul
Enoch Powell will give us a job, diggin' our way to annascaul
And when we're finished diggin' there they'll close the hole and all
Now there's six thousand five hundred and fifty-nine paddies
Over there in London all trying to dig their way back to annascaul
And very few of them boys is going to get back at all
I think that's terrible
Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work
Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work
Oh, don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work
Or you'll end up where you came from like the rest of us
Diggin', diggin', diggin'...

He did actually work on the M62, when it was being built across the Pennines.
Ireland has never looked so warm...
I guess it is little bit of "working class people being sucked dry" in all folk songs...

Lmao the ring of black pudding for lunch.
Sandles on a building site. Only Christy!
Something hilarious about this video
Christy Hennessey wrote this song. Not Christy Moore
I've got a day tomorrow and I'm not even Polish just a typical fat unfit Brit.Alarm clock on for 6.Love this song and video..had me grinning from ear to ear. Good man Christy yourself..
I'm looking forward to shifting my lazy lardarse and working up a right good old sweat.And if George Gideon Osborne or Iain Duncan-Smith come snooping,you haven't seen me,right?
*woosh and he's gone*
Why exactly would ya need to bring shirt and tie to a construction site ?
The old days..trades wore suits on sites.
No high-vis jacket, no steel toe cap boots, and urinating on site
All his songs? I didn't know Ride On was about working for 40 years and then dying :(
Love this! And I bet making that music video cost all of £4.20
@Noeladishi Hahahahahaha I laughed fair hard reading this, certain element of truth in it!
@Kavanaghness hahaha BARSE
plenty of shovelling to be done in tottenham today lads. grab those shovels!
@md79x I think they are supposed to be peeing
I do wonder why he would wear sandals to a construction site though.
This is the best, most adorable music video ever made!

Good and all as he is at singing, Christy clearly cant shovel for shite!
@BorrisDavid and open toed sandals, lawd almighty. Them in the whesht of Eire are only asking for a pinched toe.
