lirik lagu talking hard work – woody guthrie

while we are on the subject of hard work, i just wanted to tell you that i am a man who likes hard work.
i was born working and i worked my way up by hard work.
i aint ever got no where, but i got there byhard work.
work of the hardest kind.
i been down and i been out
i been disgusted i been busted and i couldnt be trusted.
i worked my way up and i worked my way down
i been drunk and i been sober.
i been baptized and hyjacked.
worked my way in jail and i worked my way outta jail
woke up a lot of mornins, didn’t know where i was at.
the hardest work i ever done was when i was tryin to get myself a worried woman to help ease my worried mind.
im gonna tell ya just how much work i had to do to get this woman i was tellin you about
i shook hands with 97 of her kinfolk and her blood relatives and i done just the same with 86 people whos just her friends and her neighbors
i kissed 73 babies and put dry pants on 34 of em well as others
done this same thing well there are a lot of other things just like this.
i held 125 wild horses and put saddles and bridles on more than that
harnessed some of the wildest and craziest teams in that whole country
i rode 14 loco broncos to a stand still
and i let 42 hound dogs lick me all over, 7 times is bit by hungry dogs and i was chewed all to pieces by rattlesnakes and water moccasins on 2 river bottoms
i chopped and carried 314 arm loads of stove wood
109 buckets of coal
carried a gallon of kerosene 18 miles over the mountains
got lost lost a good pair of shoes in a mudhole
and i chopped and weeded 48 rows of short cotton
13 acres of bad corn
i cut the sticker weeds out of 11 back yards
all on account of cuz i wanted to show her that i was a man and i liked to work
i cleaned out 9 barn lofts
cranked 31 cars, all makes and models
pulled 3 cars out of mud holes, and 4 or 5 out of snow drifts
i dug 5 cisterns of water for some of her friends
run all kinds of errands
played the fiddle for 9 church meetins
i joined 11 separate denominations
i joined up and signed up with 7 best trade unions i could find
i paid my wages, um, a, dues 6 months in advance
i waded 48 miles of swamps and 6 big rivers
walked across 2 ranges of mountains and crossed 3 deserts
i got the fever, sun stroke, malaria, blue, moonstruck, skeeter bit, poison ivy and the 7-year itch and the blind staggers
i was give up for less, lost and dead a couple of times
struck by lightning, struck by congress, struck by friends and kinfolks well as by 3 cars on highways a lot of times in peoples hen-houses
i been hit and run down run over and walked on knocked around.
im just sittin here now tryin to study up what else i can do to show that women that i still aint afraid of hard work
