Riddle Lyrics - Dispatch

Heard of a land held by untroubled hand 

Where the whisky runs cold 

Don't you dare go ask the newsman 'cause he'll tell you everything 

He don't know 

She was a child of the second American Revolution 

Strong girl with a stones constitution 

When fell into the hands of the enemy 

She touch her hand and sank her ankles deep 

So go riddle me over 

I'm a man got nothing to show for 

My work in the ground 

In this here London town 

So go riddle me over 

I'm a man got nothing to show for 

My work in the ground 

Got my back to the fire but it ain't the bridges that are falling down 

Ophelia used to swim in the rain 

Ain't nothing she'd rather do 

I was besides myself when the news had came 

And it had nothing to do with you 

They said they would never fight no more 

After the day she went away 

What in the world are we all fighting for? 

If we don't give they're gonna take 

So go n' riddle me over 

I'm a man got nothing to show for 

My work in the ground 

In this here London town 

So go n' riddle me over 

Im' a man got nothing to show for 

My work in the ground 

Got my back to the fire and my feet on the ground 

But it aint the bridges that are falling 

Go n' riddle me over 

I'm a man got nothing to show for 

My work in the ground 

Go ahead and go and riddle me over 

But it ain't the bridges that are falling down 5
