Mr Larkin Lyrics - Us Against The Crown - State Radio

I work in the kitchen at an old folk's home 

I do my best but I too am getting on 

I do the dishes but lately I been dropping plates 

See as I get older, my hands are starting to shake 

So Mr. Larkin, see I got to hold this job 

Did you misspeak when you told me? 

She was all but gone Mr. Larkin 

Dock me my one week's pay 

But don't ask me to leave 

I can't afford that today 

Ten years ago my wife took sick 

So I brought her here, my job I quit 

I started working for the home 

So I could be by her everyday 

We couldn't afford the cost in any other way, so 

So Mr. Larkin see I 

I know she know who I am 

Every now and then she'll squeeze my hand 

It's what I live for, it's why she don't die 

So Mr. Larkin 

Won't you, won't you give me this try? 

I walk to work on route 27 

I see the same cars pass everyday 

And through all this new England weather 

You know never once, have I been late? 

So Mr. Larkin see I 

I know she know who I am 

Every now and then she'll squeeze my hand 

It's what I live for, it's why she don't die 

So Mr. Larkin 

Won't you, won't you give me this try? 

I see the argument you're makin' 

And I understand you got to do your job 

And believe me, I know she's turning angel 

But you see this woman is all I got 

So Mr. Larkin see I 

I know, she know who I am 

Every now and then she'll squeeze my hand 

It's what I live for, it's why she don't die 

So Mr. Larkin 

Won't you, won't you give me this try? 

Won't you give me this try? 

Won't you give me this try?
