tom paxton - a job of work lyrics

Loading...

(verse)
i hate unemployment and i’ll tell you why
i wanna keep working ‘til the day i die
i like to work, i do it well, and when i can’t feed my family
lord i feel like h+ll

(chorus)
lord, give me a job of work to do
lord, give me a job of work to do
that’s all i want, that’s all i ask of you

(verse)
the man from the government says it’s fine
to walk on over to the free food line
i said to the government, “to be so fair
i don’t want my friends to see me there.”

(chorus)
lord, give me a job of work to do
lord, give me a job of work to do
that’s all i want, that’s all i ask of you

(verse)
i was born and raised in thеse old hills
i never lеft ‘em and i never will
i’m able+bodied, my friends are, too
and all that we want is a job to do
(chorus)
lord, give me a job of work to do
lord, give me a job of work to do
that’s all i want, that’s all i ask of you

(verse)
well, these are the worst times i have seen
i don’t want to seem ungrateful or mean
but a man’s got to raise his family
and i can’t stand to raise ‘em on charity

(chorus)
lord, give me a job of work to do
lord, give me a job of work to do
that’s all i want, that’s all i ask of you
