Chores

When I was young man

I worked on my own

You had the big chore

Of makin' a home

Now that I'm the keeper

Of all that was yours

I'm head of the family

And I'm boss of the chores

Living without you

Is a chore on its own

I understand what all you did

Now that you are gone

Sometimes it sprinkles

Sometimes it bores

When you're head of the family

And you're boss of the chores

When I lost you, darlin'

The kids lost a mom

Now it's me and the children

And there's work to be done

Look out for the babies

And I scrub all the floors

'Cause I'm head of the family

And I'm boss of the chores

Living without you

Is a chore on its own

I understand what all you did

Now that you are gone

Sometimes it sprinkles

Sometimes it bores

When you're head of the family

And you're boss of the chores

Sometimes it sprinkles

And sometimes it bores

When you're head of the family

And you're boss of the chores
