When I was a little boy my daddy used to say to me son
|
We got a little big land and a lotta hard work to be done
|
Go get your marbels put 'em in the house tear down your castles in the sand
|
Come with your pappy to the cotton patch and get a little dirt on your hands
|
Get a little dirt on your hands boy get a little dirt on your hands
|
If you're gonna grow up to be a big big man
|
(You gotta) get a little dirt on your hands (you gotta) get a little dirt on your hands
|
|
Well I got to be twenty and I thought I was a pretty big wheel
|
Left the country for the city met a slicker with a shady deal
|
He siad hold up the tavern take all the money run as fast as you can
|
If you're gonna get along in this big bad world
|
You gotta get a little dirt on your hands
|
Get a little dirt on your hands boy...
|
|
Well it's four in the morning and the warden is a calling my name
|
Says he's teaching me a lesson gonna send me out to work in the rain
|
Dig that ditch boy chop that corn I gotta make you understand
|
Only way to straighten out a guy like you is to get a little dirt on your hands
|
Get a little dirt on your hands boy...
