Craneman
Written by Robert Boddington
A song inspired by living near the Botany Port and the dock-crane workers that lived nearby.
LYRICS
CHORUS
Craneman, craneman
Carefull with your aim, man
High up in the heavens
Haulin' from below
Craneman, craneman
Careful with your aim, man
Winch the freight and then we'll go
Morning, morning
Day comes without warning
Climbing up the ladders
Haulin' from below
Helmets, high vis
Way up in your harness
Winch the freight and then we'll go
CHORUS
Dock crane, dock crane
Sunshine, hail or cold rain
Two thousand tonne of metal
Haulin' from below
Millions in machinery
But not a cent will i see
Winch the freight and then we'll go
CHORUS
Tanker, tanker
Don’t forget your anchor
Line up on the dock side
Haulin' from below
Captain shcmaptain
It’s my port that you’re trapped in
Winch the freight and then we'll go
CHORUS
Cargo, cargo
Still to travel far, so
Grab it with the clamps now
Haulin' from below
Dubbo from ‘Cisco
All the way from Pisco
Winch the freight and then we'll go
CHORUS
Stacked up, packed up
Freight train is all tracked up
A hundred linked containers
Haulin' from below
Lights down home bound
Tomorrow is a new round
Winch the freight and then we'll go
CHORUS X 2
