José

Time to till the hay, listen my José
Pick up your problems, get your day's work done
Don't want to hear you talk to anyone.
You better get on your way, listen my José
Take off your shirt, you gotta earn your pay
Ain't gonna wear it out there anyway boy, d'ya hear? d'ya hear?
I know your life is in a mess
You gotta get up, you can't afford to rest
Can't you see my sign, I got have my final ???
Gotta do your best.
