Ah..

Don't want to work away

Doin' just what they all say.

Work hard, boy, and

You'll find

One day you'll have a job like mine.



'Cause I know for sure

Nobody should be that poor.

You say yes and

Sink low

Because you happen to say so, say so.

You say so.



I don't want to work away

Doin' just what they all say.

Work hard, boy, and

You'll find

One day you'll have a job like mine, job like mine.

A job like mine.



Be wise. Look ahead.

Use your eyes, he said.

Be straight. Think right,

But I might die tonight.

Ah..

Ah
