Assembly Of Dust Telling Sue Lyrics

Telling Sue Lyrics

I was workin real hard in a gravel yard

when I came across a silver coin

you know it wasn''t that much but I tried my luck because I''d had enough of
being employed



Mama mama don''t worry long for me

I''m a man and I must find my way

mama mama can you tell Sue for me 

If I stayed here I''d die in a working man''s grave



Well I was dead flat broke and that wasn''t no joke

''cause I was swimming in a pile of debt

but I have to admit that when I up and quit

I pulled an iron shackle from my neck



Well it''s been some years and I''ve grown a beard 

and I''ve taken to the life I lead

When I think of the past the thinkin'' doesn''t last

I have everything I ever need



When I turned to leave I heard the pit boss scream

"Son you know you''ll never return"

Well I didn''t say a word I just flipped him the bird

and that''s the last of me that he saw
