With the general workers' union
I've been there and back
And you, you tried to tell me
I went there and back
You was looking for a bargain
I heard your footsteps at the front door
Now you are my good friend

At the top of the stairs
Just to see how far it was
But I had to learn for myself

And I wonder what you would have done
Now we both know you got no money

Without me hanging around
There's more trouble at the depot

And I know how far it is
You were sorting through the odds and ends
In that old familiar love song
Oh, you was my hero
Well, they won't fight and they're not working
But I left you on the debris
'Cause you knew you'd find me waiting there
And you said they'll never change a thing
