Ah....Let me hear it now! All...right!
Well you work the day sweatin' while you're tryin' to earn your bread, ha!
Well you gotta work hard man, knock yourself dead - haooww!
Well you wanna drink of water, man you ain't got time to stop
Alright - the man said it's better for ya workin' til you drop, work on!
Well you're workin' for the boss man all the day long
The trouble with my life is I lived it all wrong, hey! - Lived it wrong baby
Hey-oh, ya gotta make it work - gotta make it soon, oh-yeah
I only gotta wait til there ain't no moon - hey!
You gotta lose the dogs and keep a runnin' on, hey-yeah
When you wake up in the mornin', baby I'll be gone - I'm gone!
Well I live a life of ease - well I ain't got no pain
They're never gonna get me on the farm again
Ain't workin' like a dog - aw.....ain't workin' nowhere - alright!
Hah.......Yeah.......I'm on a slave gang.......Oh!
Oh yeah, yea.....eah, alright - I'm gonna tell you something - oh yeah,
Well I'm lying by myself and I'm thinking about my wife - yeah, ha, ha!
The last time I saw her she was lying on my knife - and that's a fact!
I tried to make it runnin' but they caught me next day - mercy!
The world is in my cell, and I'm wastin' time away
Well I don't know why I bother boy, I don't know why I care
The preacher's been to see me, and I'm going to the chair - ha, ha
See if I care, burn me up! Alright, I'll get 'em back someday!
No more work for me man - I won't have a care!
