INTRO: F C Dm Dm Dm Dm VERSE Dm C Dm It's hard when folks can't find their work C Dm Where they've been bred and born. Dm C Dm When I was young I always thought Dm C Dm I'd bide midst fruits and corn. PD-C HORUS: F Bb Dm C But I've been forced to work in town Dm F A So here's my litany: CHORUS: Dm C Dm From Hull and Halifax and Hell, C Dm Dm Good Lord, deliver me! VERSE: Dm C Dm When I was courtin' Mary Jane, Dm C Dm Thee old squire, he says to me: Dm C Dm "I've got no rooms for wedded folk; Dm C Dm Choose, whether to go or to stay?" PD-C HORUS: F Bb Dm C I could not give up the girl I loved, Dm F A So to town I was forced to flee: CHORUS: Dm C Dm From Hull and Halifax and Hell, C Dm Dm Dm Good Lord, deliver me! VERSE: Dm C Dm I've worked in Leeds an' Huddersfield C Dm I've earned some honest brass; Dm C Dm In Bradford, Keighley, Rotherham, C Dm I've kept me barns an' lass. PD-C HORUS: F Bb Dm C I've travelled all three Ridin's round, Dm F A And once I went to sea: CHORUS: Dm C Dm From forges, mills, and coalin' boats, C Dm Dm Good Lord, deliver me! VERSE: Dm C Dm I've walked at night through Sheffield lanes Dm C Dm Twas just like bein' in Hell: Dm C Dm Where furnaces thrust out tongues o' fire, Dm C Dm An' roared like the wind on the fell. PD-C HORUS: F Bb Dm C I've sammed up coals in Barnsley pit Dm F A With muck up to my knee: CHORUS: Dm C Dm From Barnsley, Sheffield, Rotherham, C Dm Dm Good Lord, deliver me! VERSE: Dm C Dm I've seen fog creep across Leeds Bridge C Dm As thick as the bastile soup; Dm C Dm I've lived where folks were stowed away Dm C Dm Like rabbits in a coop. PD-C HORUS: F Bb Dm C I've seen snow float down Bradforth Beck Dm F A As black as ebony: CHORUS: Dm C Dm Frae Hunslet, Holbeck, Wibsey Stack, C Dm Dm Good Lord, deliver me! VERSE: Dm C Dm But now, that's all our children are gone C Dm To the country we've come back. Dm C Dm There's forty mile of heathery moor Dm C Dm Twixt' us and the coal-pit stack. PD-C HORUS: F Bb Dm C And as I sit by the fire at night, Dm F A I'll laugh and shout with glee: CHORUS: Dm C Dm From Hull, and Halifax, and Hell, C Dm The good Lord delivered me!
