Work of the Weavers

[Verse 1]
We're all here together for to sit and to crack
With our glasses in our hands and our work upon our back
And there's not a man alive who can live with the lack
Of the wonderful work of the weavers

[Chorus]
If it was not for the weavers, what would you do?
You wouldn't have a shirt or a sock for your shoe
You wouldn't have a coat, be it black be it blue
If it was not for the work of the weavers

[Verse 2]
There's plumbers, and there's journeymen, and farmers cuttin' straw
There's doctors and there's ministеrs and them that live by law
And our friends in South Amеrica, though them we never saw
But we know they wear the work of the weavers

[Verse 3]
The soldiers and the sailors and fightin' men so bold
If they didn't have their uniforms they'd freeze to death from cold
The rich and the poor, the young and the old
Can't survive without the work of the weavers

[Chorus]
If it was not for the weavers, what would you do?
You wouldn't have a shirt or a sock for your shoe
You wouldn't have a coat be, it black be it blue
If it was not for the work of the weavers

[Verse 4]
Though weavin' is a trade that never can fail
You've got to wear your clothes or they'll throw you right in jail
So let us all be merry with a bottle of good ale
And drink to the health of the weavers

[Chorus]
If it was not for the weavers, what would you do?
You wouldn't have a shirt or a sock for your shoe
You wouldn't have a coat, be it black be it blue
If it was not for the work of the weavers

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
So drink to the health of the weavers
