Pay Me a Dollar

Pay me a dollar for my sweat and my blood

With callus hands

I work the land in the pain and the mud

I take pride in what

I do to serve is my own joy

I will work hard for you good sir

I’m an all-

American boy

I say hey for my lazy work today

That’s right

I’ll be working hard tonight

Say hey I found a better way

That’s right

I’ll be working through tonight

Pay me a dollar for my sweat is my pay

I live to work it’s fun

I shirk to me there’s no other way

My life’s the job

I won’t be a slob my family time can wait

Listen here my darling dear to die on the job is my fate
