From The Sleeve Notes
HARD LIFE ON THE CUT (Dave, fiddle; Lorna, vocal; John, banjo)
I wrote this for
a Charles Parker documentary radio programme about canal life called 'Cry from the Cut'. In our songbook, (Heathside Music,
120 Marylebone Lane, W.1.—7/6d), we illustrated this song with an actual photograph of a commercial longboat being pulled
along a canal by a barge wife, while her husband handled the tiller.
Hard Life on the Cut
(Ian Campbell)
It's a hard life for a girl on the cut
Doing the work of a full grown man
Pushing a barrow
and shoveling the coal
Plenty of work on her hands
It's a hard life for a wife on the cut
Spending her days with
a bargee man
Sharing his work through the good times and bad
Coping as well as she can
It's a hard life for a
mum on the cut
Rearing her family the decent way
Mending and cooking and keeping them clean
Nothing but work all
the day
