Corned Beef City (Live) - Mark Knopfler

Early in the morning

Going to meet a man

Wants a truck unloading
For cash-in-hand

You don't ask questions

When there's nothing in the bank

Got to feed the kids
And put the diesel in the tank

Bacon egg and sausage

Double chips and beans

Tea and bread and butter
And a day on the machines

Christmas is coming

With the final demand

What you got going
For cash in hand

So it ain't too pretty

Corned beef city

It ain't too pretty

Corned beef city

Early in the morning

Where the trucks all stand

I've got a pocket full of folding
And a pair of jerry cans

I've got to keep it going

They're laying off at ford

I'm only one step ahead
Of my room and board

So it ain't too pretty

Corned beef city

It ain't too pretty

Corned beef city

Early in the morning

Going to meet a man

Wants a truck unloading
For cash-in-hand

You don't ask questions

When there's nothing in the bank

Got to feed the kids
And put the diesel in the tank

So it ain't too pretty

Corned beef city

It ain't too pretty

Corned beef city
