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 you. S. 41
That's right, you. 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 you. S. 41
That's right, you. 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 you. S. 41
That's right, you. S. 41
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 you.
