For every dime I've got a thousand times your's, laborer

I got a thousand of your kind doing my overtime, laborer

And while a life like yours wouldn't be very nice

I'm lying at home just drinking my tea and I shed, laborer

For every penny you've earned I've

Got a thousand to burn yeah, laborer

When my money's all gone I've got a thousand in bonds yeah, laborer

But there's things which you have

Which my money can't buy

And I know I must have them or else I will die yeah, laborer

Oh you've got something that doesn't have a price

A loving woman to hold and kiss each night

The only way it's going to be mine

Is if I change my ways and become a laborer

I'll give my pearls for the love of that girl yeah, laborer

Your woman's heart that's a feeling you don't have, laborer

I made it that way and I'll have to rich

I'd rather be poor, take an itch, and be a laborer

Oh you've got something that doesn't have a price

A loving woman to hold and kiss each night

The only way it's going to be mine

Is if I change my ways and become a laborer
