There was a head on collision

At my front door today

One man died

And another man tried to stop it


There was a head on collision

At my front door today

One man died

I was hanging on the pole

When I saw what happened

I went to tell my ma,

But she was sleeping


I was hanging on the pole

When I saw what happened

Don't take that man away

It was not his fault


Telegraph poles are good for climbing

But don't touch the live wire

At the tip of the barrel

But don't touch the live wire

At the tip of the barrel


You know this means everything to me

But I'm not sure if I'll be here tomorrow
