Between the Wars Croy and the Boys

[Verse 1]
I was a miner
I was a docker
And I was a railwayman
Between the wars

[Verse 2]
I raised a family
In times of austerity
With sweat in the foundry
Between the wars

[Verse 3]
I paid the union
And as times got harder
I looked to the government
To help the working man

[Verse 4]
But they brought prosperity
Down at the armory
We’re arming for peace, my friends
Between the wars

[Verse 5]
But I kept the faith
And I kept voting
Not for the iron fist
But for the helping hand
