England's Motorway, come my little son lyrics and chords
The Dubliners Lyrics And Chords. Written by Ewan McColl With Luke Kelly singing. Try a capo on the 2nd.fret and you will be playing in the key of D. These are the chords I use. I have given the chords for the Luke Kelly version also. This folk song by Ewan McColl is all about an Irishman working on the roads of England and the wife and son at home pining for the father. Luke sang a similar song about working on roads which was The Hot Asphalt Song .Also sang by Blue Highway and Annmarie O’Riordan also recorded Come My Little Son in 2020.

Here’s the full version of “Come My Little Son (England’s Motorway)” with chords on every verse and chorus, in C Major — a beautiful and heartfelt ballad written by Ewan MacColl, famously sung by Luke Kelly of The Dubliners.
🎵 Come My Little Son (England’s Motorway)(Ewan MacColl – Key of C Major)
[Verse 1]Come [C]my [F]little [C]son and I will [G]tell you what to [C]do,
Undress your [F]self, get [Am]into [C]bed and a [G]tale I'll [C]tell to [F]you,[Am]
It’s [C]all a [F]bout your [Am]daddy, [C]he's a [G]man you [C]seldom [F]see,
For he's [C]had to roam away from home, a [G]way from [C]me and you.
[Chorus]But re[F]member [Am]lad, he's [C]still your [G]dad,
Though he's [G]working [C]far a[F]way,
In the [C]cold and heat, eight[Am]y hours a [C]week,
On [G]England’s [C]motor[F]way.
[Verse 2]Sure we’d [C]like your daddy [F]home, sure it [C]would be [G]fine,
To have him [C]working nearer [F]home, to [Am]see him [C]all the [G]time,
But be[C]ggars can’t be [F]choosers, son, we’ve [C]got to [G]bear our [C]load,
For we [F]need the money your [C]daddy earns,
A [G]working [C]on the [F]roads.
[Chorus]But re[F]member [Am]lad, he's [C]still your [G]dad,
Though he's [G]working [C]far a[F]way,
In the [C]cold and heat, eight[Am]y hours a [C]week,
On [G]England’s [C]motor[F]way.
[Verse 3]When you [C]fall and hurt your[F]self and [C]get a [G]feeling bad,
It isn't [C]any good to [F]go a-[Am]running for your [C]da’,
For the [C]only time since you were [F]born, that [C]he’s had to [G]spend with [C]you,
He was [F]out of a job and he [C]hadn’t a bob,
He was [G]signing [C]on the [F]brew.
[Chorus – Final]But re[F]member [Am]lad, he's [C]still your [G]dad,
Though he's [G]working [C]far a[F]way,
In the [C]cold and heat, eight[Am]y hours a [C]week,
On [G]England’s [C]motor[F]way.

💡 PERFORMANCE NOTES
Play slowly and gently — the emotion is in the delivery, not speed.
Let the bass notes ring slightly before picking higher notes.
For variety, alternate between fingerpicking for verses and soft brush strumming (fingers or nails) for choruses.
On the final line, slow down slightly (ritardando) to end on a sustained G chord.

Come[G] my [C]little[G] son and I will [D]tell you what to[G] do,
Undress your[C]self,get[Em] into [G]bed and a[D] tale I'll [G]tell to[C] you,[Em]

Though he's [D]working [G]far a[C]way,
In the [G]cold and heath eighty hours a week,
On [D]England's [G]motorway.
