Loading...

[verse 1]
he said, “hard work never k!lled a man,” and grandpa oughta know
he must’ve walked a thousand miles down his old cornrow
following behind the plow with an old mule called jim
i don’t know who had a harder head, that old mule or him

[chorus]
“wake up, boy, get out of bed, don’t you think you’ve slept enough?
there’s lots of work a boy can do before the sun comes up!
there’s cows to milk, a hog to feed, the chickens must be fed!
if the hard work’s gonna k!ll you, boy, by now i would be dead.”

[verse 2]
you can learn some lessons at the south end of a mule
following thе plow all day will change your attitude
about the way you viеw life, how hard you work in school
his work was not to punish, but as a teaching tool

[chorus]
“wake up, boy, get out of bed, don’t you think you’ve slept enough?
there’s lots of work a boy can do before the sun comes up!
there’s cows to milk, a hog to feed, the chickens must be fed!
if the hard work’s gonna k!ll you, boy, by now i would be dead.”

[instrumental interlude]
[chorus]
“wake up, boy, get out of bed, don’t you think you’ve slept enough?
there’s lots of work a boy can do before the sun comes up!
there’s cows to milk, a hog to feed, the chickens must be fed!
if the hard work’s gonna k!ll you, boy, by now i would be dead.”
