James Reyne Coin In A Plate Lyrics

Coin In A Plate Lyrics

Came every day-ay

Ten ton caterpillar, loa-oading bay-ay

Ships
bearin' gifts from Havana

She waved from the quay 

As they slipped
away-ay-ay

Cowboy's decree-ee

Tryin' to justify a place in
history-y-y

Who's in that field full of crosses

Or Davey Jones'
locker 

In the deep blue sea-ea-ea



Ah-ah, she was the mother


Of a revolution of sor-orts

Ah-ah, she put a coin in the plate 

For the Western wor-or-or-orld



She heard that man say-ay

Steppin' on the porch

Telegram to-oday-ay-ay

She tore at the
apron she wore-ore

Tossing her dreams away-ay-ay



Ah-ah, she
was the mother 

Of a revolution of sor-orts

Ah-ah, she put a coin
in the plate 

For the Western wor-or-or-orld



Ah-ah, she was
the mother 

Of a revolution of sor-orts

Ah-ah, she put a coin in
the plate 

For the Western wor-or-or-orld



They came every
day-ay

Ten ton caterpillar, loa-oading bay-ay-ay
