Just A Note - Karan Casey

Just a note for the time is short dear

Hard is the work and long the day

But my fond heart will be with you Mary

Although you are many many miles away

Kiss the children for me Mary

Do not let them pine or grieve

Tell them I will be working for them

How our home I had to leave

Building dams in the fields and the factories

Moving concrete by the load

Tell them I will be with you Mary

When I am finished working on the road

(repeat first verse)
