The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Now brothers and sisters gathered here today

I got something I want to share with you

Now let me warn you it's a sad, sad story

But I swear every word is true

Now, money and me don't talk too much

We never got along too well

But when I got some in my pocket

I seem to have a lot more friends

I pay the landlord and the taxman

And it's time to go to work again

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

I need somebody

Let me hear you say

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I've been workin' too hard

I've been workin' too hard

I've been workin' too hard

I got to get just a little bit out of control

I've been workin' too hard

I've been workin' too hard

I've been workin' too hard

Gotta find somebody just to soothe my soul

I had a young girl back in Cleveland

My baby would not be true

It took a while to realize

The evil that some girls do

I told her mother and father what I did

They said what kind of work is that?

They said I just didn't have the fear of God

They could tell by the way I laughed

She ran off and married a preachers son

In a ragtop cadillac

Can I get a witness?

You know I need a witness

I need somebody

Let me hear you say

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I've been workin' too hard

I've been workin' too hard

I've been workin' too hard

I got to get just a little bit out of control

I've been workin' too hard

I've been workin' too hard

I've been workin' too hard

Gotta find somebody just to soothe my soul

Well people I've learned my lesson

And I've learned my lesson well

Some girls want your money

But your money is the Devil himself

But life can get confusing

Whether you're high, low, rich or poor

I swear when you get right down to it

There's only one thing I know for sure

Before this night is over

I'll be in trouble and I'm lookin' for more, more, more

Can I get a witness?

I got to find a witness

I need somebody

Let me hear you say

yeah yeah yeah yeah

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I've been workin' too hard

I've been workin' too hard

I've been workin' too hard

I got to get just a little bit out of control

I've been workin' too hard

I've been workin' too hard

I've been workin' too hard

Gotta find somebody just to soothe my soul
