My daddy came a marchin'
|
Over the hill at dawn
|
Had to make that wage man
|
That's how we got along
|
|
My daddy's life was workin'
|
Workin' all day long
|
Put food on the table
|
And the children sang a song
|
Yes, the children sang a song
|
|
My grandad's name was pulpwood
|
Wore a coat of green
|
Took a wife in '31
|
Drove the big machine
|
|
My daddy load the lumber
|
Put it on the truck
|
Used to see him walkin' home on U.S. 41
|
That's right, U.S. 41
|
|
All my life's been workin'
|
Out the door and gone
|
Got to make that overtime
|
Keep us movin' on
|
|
Need a drink of water
|
To get out of the sun
|
Burnin' up to make that wage on U.S. 41
|
That's right, U.S. 41
|
|
The boss man owns the business
|
Keeps it goin' strong
|
Be blowin' like a hurricane and
|
Work like nothin's wrong
|
|
We got to keep on movin'
|
'til the bell gone ring
|
Fill her up with kerosene
|
And let that lady sing
|
Whoa now, let that lady sing
|
|
His given name was Lucky
|
His wife's name Annie Brown
|
Run outside the law
|
And they chased him right on down
|
|
Lucky faced the lawman
|
The captain drew his gun
|
They put him with a sling blade
|
On U.S. 41
|
That's right, U.S. 41
|
