The Roof Is Leaking Lyrics

 The roof is leaking and the wind is howling
 Kids are crying 'cos the sheets are so cold
 I woke this morning found my hands were frozen
 I've tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing's too old
 
 It's been months now, since we heard from our Mary,
 I wonder if she ever made the coast
 She and her young man, they both moved out there
 But I sure hope they write, just to let us know
 
 CHORUS
 And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute
 My wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait
 'Cos this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one
 But Spring'll soon be here,
 Oh God I hope it's not late
 
 Ma and Pa lived here, and theirs before them
 
 Tried their hardest to make it a home
 Seems so long now since they passed over
 Hope my children'll try to make it their own
 
 The roof is leaking and the wind is howling
 Kinds are crying, 'cos the sheets are so cold
 I woke this morning found my hands were frozen
 I've tried to 

 (REPEAT) CHORUS
 
 And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute
 My wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait
 'Cos this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one
 But Spring'll soon be here,
 Oh God I hope it's not late
