The Roof Is Leaking

The roof is leaking and the wind is howlingKids are crying 'cos the sheets are so coldI woke this morning found my hands were frozenI've tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing's too oldIt's been months now, since we heard from our Mary,I wonder if she ever made the coastShe and her young man, they both moved out thereBut I sure hope they write, just to let us knowAnd me, I'm getting stronger by the minuteMy wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait'Cos this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad oneBut Spring'll soon be here,Oh God I hope it's not lateMa and Pa lived here, and theirs before themTried their hardest to make it a homeSeems so long now since they passed overHope my children'll try to make it their ownThe roof is leaking and the wind is howlingKids are crying, 'cos the sheets are so coldI woke this morning found my hands were frozenI've tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing's too oldAnd me, I'm getting stronger by the minuteMy wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait'Cos this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad oneBut Spring'll soon be here,Oh God I hope it's not late
