A woman's place was in my home
Sitting, crying on the sofa
Until she'd stop, I'd face the clock
And then I'd fade away

A woman's place was on her own
While I worked, And when I roam
But in my heart, That woman's love
Became everything

You think you know, you think you've learned
From broken hearts, And fingers burned
But on the streets, In Fife they'd say
A clown finds out the hard way

You'd think they'd know, you'd think they'd learn
From bittered tears, And fingers burned
But in this town, On any day
A clown finds out the hard way

A woman's place Is here with me
If I can see it, Why can't she
But now she's gone, I find she's strong
Well I just fade away, Boy, I just fade away

A woman's place, a woman's place, a woman's place
