I'll never be a company man Any fool can understand I'm trouble in the chain I'll help out if I can But I cannot change What I am I've never be a union man I trust the skills in these two hands In these eyes and in my brain I'll help out if I can But I cannot change What I am Reel, line and sinker Open sky and sea I've never been a left-handed drinker And when I'm gone No memory Will remain I'll never be a party man In a world of shifting sand My words are plain And I'll help out if I can But I cannot change What I am I cannot change What I am I cannot change What I am
