The Scaffolder's Wife

The scaffolders wife
Drivin out of the yard
With a face thats as hard
As a scaffolders barWhen she goes into town
She might take the top down
On the carThe quick little steps
In the stiletto boots
And the hair with the roots
She comes in as a ruleTo get the nails done
And the tan for the sun
When the kids are in schoolDont begrudge her the Merc
Its been nothin but work and a hard life
Losin her looks over company books
The scaffolders wifeIn the wicked old days
When they went it alone
Kept the company goin
On a wing and a prayerThey dont pay what they owe
When they have the cash flow
They dont careDont begrudge her the Merc
Its been nothin but work and a hard life
Losin her looks over company books
