<221, 1260><221, 1260><280, 1260><221, 1260><365, 1260><176, 1260><221, 1260><1041, 1260>
they'll probably fit you now my son
<291, 1260><410, 1260><290, 1260><180, 1260><210, 1260><221, 1260><801, 1260>

<140, 1260><236, 1260><353, 1260><273, 1260><265, 1260><199, 1260><756, 1260>
why don't you try them on it
<273, 1260><324, 1260><200, 1260><236, 1260><217, 1260><216, 1260><216, 1260>
would do your old man good
<200, 1260><240, 1260><240, 1260><256, 1260><273, 1260><773, 1260>
to see you walking in these boots one day
<273, 1260><257, 1260><256, 1260><484, 1260><236, 1260><320, 1260><464, 1260><216, 1260><773, 1260>
and take your place among the men
<257, 1260><256, 1260><237, 1260><236, 1260><517, 1260><236, 1260><740, 1260>
who work upon the slipway
<257, 1260><256, 1260><553, 1260><273, 1260><1020, 1260>
these dead man's boots stole their old and curled
<353, 1260><393, 1260><444, 1260><320, 1260><280, 1260><101, 1260><199, 1260><256, 1260><860, 1260>
fellow needs a job and a place in the world
<315, 1260><177, 1260><183, 1260><245, 1260><140, 1260><160, 1260><215, 1260><176, 1260><140, 1260><695, 1260>
and it's time for a man to put down roots
<223, 1260><225, 1260><183, 1260><216, 1260><200, 1260><215, 1260><196, 1260><195, 1260><231, 1260><1331, 1260>
and walk to the river in his old man's boots
<216, 1260><215, 1260><196, 1260><195, 1260><365, 1260><160, 1260><195, 1260><231, 1260><576, 1260><1235, 1260>
he said i'm nearly done than asking this
<216, 1260><215, 1260><225, 1260><375, 1260><236, 1260><195, 1260><425, 1260><715, 1260>
but you do one faint old thing for me
<176, 1260><160, 1260><215, 1260><231, 1260><356, 1260><195, 1260><231, 1260><216, 1260><715, 1260>
you're barely but a sapling
<310, 1260><520, 1260><175, 1260><175, 1260><810, 1260>
and you think that you're a tree
<230, 1260><230, 1260><230, 1260><230, 1260><350, 1260><230, 1260><620, 1260>
if you need a seed to prosper
<195, 1260><195, 1260><230, 1260><230, 1260><350, 1260><230, 1260><850, 1260>
you must first put down some roots
<237, 1260><242, 1260><198, 1260><237, 1260><237, 1260><237, 1260><857, 1260>
just one foot then the other
<237, 1260><237, 1260><437, 1260><280, 1260><199, 1260><498, 1260>
and these dead man's boots
<237, 1260><237, 1260><397, 1260><637, 1260><940, 1260>
these dead man's boots know they wait on the hill
<237, 1260><357, 1260><499, 1260><340, 1260><160, 1260><198, 1260><252, 1260><170, 1260><218, 1260><442, 1260>
they could walk there themselves and they probably will
<199, 1260><198, 1260><302, 1260><218, 1260><532, 1260><130, 1260><160, 1260><218, 1260><537, 1260>
there's a place for you there to sink your roots
<247, 1260><147, 1260><193, 1260><214, 1260><213, 1260><240, 1260><227, 1260><360, 1260><227, 1260><1367, 1260>
or take a walk down the river in this dead man's boots
<214, 1260><180, 1260><180, 1260><213, 1260><227, 1260><227, 1260><327, 1260><160, 1260><193, 1260><307, 1260><614, 1260><1353, 1260>
i said why in the hell would i do that
<227, 1260><227, 1260><214, 1260><180, 1260><193, 1260><240, 1260><194, 1260><193, 1260><227, 1260><727, 1260>
and why would i agree
<214, 1260><213, 1260><174, 1260><173, 1260><940, 1260>
when his hand was all that i'd received
<218, 1260><180, 1260><237, 1260><238, 1260><237, 1260><275, 1260><283, 1260><1017, 1260>
as far as i remember
<318, 1260><197, 1260><259, 1260><216, 1260><1015, 1260>
as soon as if it's for me
<318, 1260><237, 1260><219, 1260><216, 1260><264, 1260><216, 1260><775, 1260>
with this kindness of talent you see
<167, 1260><166, 1260><527, 1260><206, 1260><413, 1260><213, 1260><713, 1260>
i'd planted me on and i'd quit this place
<373, 1260><350, 1260><144, 1260><186, 1260><210, 1260><237, 1260><156, 1260><170, 1260><713, 1260>
when i came of age
<167, 1260><160, 1260><200, 1260><200, 1260><552, 1260>
september
<1193, 1260>
these dead man's boots
<293, 1260><293, 1260><447, 1260><359, 1260>
smoke our weed on the hill
<196, 1260><170, 1260><190, 1260><170, 1260><213, 1260><506, 1260>
they can walk their themselves and they probably will
<207, 1260><180, 1260><186, 1260><247, 1260><556, 1260><124, 1260><166, 1260><534, 1260><686, 1260>
our plenty of choices are plenty of the roots
<213, 1260><350, 1260><170, 1260><640, 1260><213, 1260><390, 1260><144, 1260><186, 1260><1220, 1260>
you've never seen me walking in these dead man's booze
<125, 1260><203, 1260><214, 1260><203, 1260><397, 1260><175, 1260><228, 1260><417, 1260><629, 1260><608, 1260>
why was it made him think
<249, 1260><240, 1260><248, 1260><249, 1260><248, 1260><557, 1260>
i'd be happy ending up like him
<294, 1260><203, 1260><440, 1260><392, 1260><200, 1260><248, 1260><557, 1260>
but he'd hardly got to hypnos left
<257, 1260><252, 1260><460, 1260><248, 1260><257, 1260><592, 1260><508, 1260>
or a broken pot to piss in
<249, 1260><248, 1260><480, 1260><329, 1260><248, 1260><272, 1260><508, 1260>
they wanted the same thing for me
<220, 1260><430, 1260><190, 1260><220, 1260><220, 1260><220, 1260><520, 1260>
but that is final wish
<210, 1260><180, 1260><190, 1260><220, 1260><680, 1260>
you said what the hell are you gonna do
<190, 1260><180, 1260><180, 1260><185, 1260><110, 1260><125, 1260><120, 1260><170, 1260><520, 1260>
i said anything but this
<233, 1260><233, 1260><233, 1260><233, 1260><533, 1260>
these dead man's boots know my way down the hill
<233, 1260><393, 1260><457, 1260><351, 1260><149, 1260><160, 1260><196, 1260><217, 1260><216, 1260><446, 1260>
they're gonna walk there themselves
<248, 1260><185, 1260><280, 1260><233, 1260><534, 1260>
and then most likely will
<177, 1260><103, 1260><185, 1260><417, 1260><382, 1260>
but they won't walk with me
<197, 1260><196, 1260><344, 1260><180, 1260><180, 1260><262, 1260>
cause i'm off the other way
<297, 1260><151, 1260><185, 1260><177, 1260><176, 1260><533, 1260>
i've had it up to here
<317, 1260><160, 1260><180, 1260><200, 1260><200, 1260><302, 1260>
i'm gonna have my sea
<248, 1260><185, 1260><233, 1260><233, 1260><559, 1260>
when all you got left is that cross on the wall
<233, 1260><233, 1260><217, 1260><216, 1260><233, 1260><233, 1260><233, 1260><408, 1260><149, 1260><188, 1260><454, 1260>
i want nothing from you i want nothing at all
<197, 1260><196, 1260><417, 1260><216, 1260><233, 1260><217, 1260><216, 1260><397, 1260><160, 1260><496, 1260>
got a pension of pittance
<56, 1260><136, 1260><428, 1260><212, 1260><519, 1260>
when your whole life is through
<193, 1260><192, 1260><200, 1260><225, 1260><213, 1260><426, 1260>
get this through your head i'm nothing like you
<225, 1260><225, 1260><225, 1260><225, 1260><280, 1260><345, 1260><425, 1260><225, 1260><479, 1260>
i'm done with all the arguments
<345, 1260><168, 1260><180, 1260><200, 1260><212, 1260><694, 1260>
there'll be no more just
<286, 1260><179, 1260><225, 1260><225, 1260><352, 1260>
you
<800, 1260>
and you'll die before you see me in your dead beds
<280, 1260><280, 1260><240, 1260><360, 1260><220, 1260><220, 1260><200, 1260><200, 1260><240, 1260><400, 1260><1660, 1260>
oh roots
<280, 1260><2780, 1260>
