Don't want to work away, doing just what they all say
"Work hard, boy, and you'll find, one day you'll have a job like mine"
'Cause I know for sure nobody should be that poor
To say yes or sink low, because you happen to say so, say so, you say so

I don't want to work away, doing just what they all say
"Work hard, boy, and you'll find one day you'll have a job like mine,
Job like mine, a job like mine"

"Be wise, look ahead, use your eyes," he said.
"Be straight, think right." "But I might die tonight!"
