Lyrics
[Reggae Bass]
[Uplifting Verse]
Hawking round the town,
Sure can pave a drive,
But the sun is real high gettin burnt alive,
Skin red raw in trouble with the law,
Gots to pay for weddings,
I needs all the blessings,
From the lord above,
Sher God is good,
Thank him everyday,
For this life of mine,
Oh lord Hawkin in the sunshine,
[Trumpet]
[Chorus]
Hawking in the sunshine,
Lord Hawkin in the sunshine,
Right few jobs,
Praise Jah and good God,
Hawking in the sunshine,
We here for a good time,
Turn the Craic is ninety,
Leave the bad times behind me,
Oh lord,
Hawking in the sunshine,
[Reggae Bass]
[Verse]
Everywhere we go,
Country people tolt us no,
Got no jobs for days,
Sometimes it's that way,
The luck of the draw,
Take it on the jaw,
We do the Finest auld paving,
The best for last is worth saving,
And God is still worth praising,
Have faith,
It can wait,
Hawking in the sunshine,
[Trumpet]
[Verse]
I know people discriminate,
But I need food on me plate,
I have talents and work hard,
So lave me into your yard,
I do the best you ever see,
Me boys says thank you and please,
When ya give them cups of tea,
Paving jobs is might fine,
We work hard everytime,
Hawking in the sunshine,
[Chorus]
Hawking in the sunshine,
Lord Hawkin in the sunshine,
Right few jobs,
Praise Jah and good God,
Hawking in the sunshine,
We here for a good time,
Turn the Craic is ninety,
Leave the bad times behind me,
Oh lord,
Hawking in the sunshine,
[Guitar solo]
[BRIDGE]
They aksk me to pay tax,
Says I pays all the VAT,
I'm a sole trader and a dole hater,
Don't put me hand out,
Thats what I'm about,
Hard times call for hard people,
And you know we the real deal,
Oh lord, good God, praise Jah,
Hawking in the sunshine,
[Trumpet]
[Chorus]
Hawking in the sunshine,
Lord Hawkin in the sunshine,
Right few jobs,
Praise Jah and good God,
Hawking in the sunshine,
We here for a good time,
Turn the Craic is ninety,
Leave the bad times behind me,
Oh lord,
Hawking in the sunshine.
