Loading...

[little brother]
well i give my thanks to the lord

[little & big brother]
and i give my thanks to the lord, lord, lord, lord

[little brother]
lord, please give me some more
and i got way down on my knees

[little & big brother]
sayin’ lord, can’t you help me if you please, please, please

[little brother]
can you save me from this workin’ man’s disease

[big brother, spoken]
so he up and fled, without a word. at planting time, no less. leaves his home and family and congregation

[little brother, spoken]
and my beautiful melody anne. we was aiming toward marriage

[big brother, spoken]
lovely girl from a proper family, you understand

[mate, spoken]
oh, i’m sure
[little brother, spoken]
but it was like i could suddenly see my wholе life writ: work the fields, marry thе girl, have the family, tithe to god, follow that plow mule until you drop dead of exhaustion and they shove you right into that same hard earth you plowed the day before and that’s all you got! everyone in this life deserves one godd+mn frolic before he’s done!

[mate, spoken]
amen, brother

[big brother, spoken]
so i follow him here. won’t stop until he is home and safe and dry

[little brother, spoken]
and had one f+ck of an adventure!

[cast]
load in
load out
get down
get out

load in (load in)
load out (load out)
get down (get down)
get out (get down)

drive home
too late
my mind stays crooked
and my back stays straight
[dance break]

that’s right, baby
that’s right
come on now
come on
i know you can

[cast]
i’m a hard, hard worker, i’m workin’ every day
i’m a hard, hard worker, and i’m savin’ all my pay
if i ever get some money put away
i’m gonna take it all out to celebrate
i’m a hard, hard worker every day
i’m a hard, hard worker every day
