Talking Hard Work - Woody Guthrie
While we are on the subject of hard work
I just wanted to tell you that I am a man who likes hard work

I was born working and I worked my way up by hard work

I aint ever got no where
But I got there byhard work

Work of the hardest kind

I been down and I been out

I been disgusted I been busted and I couldnt be trusted

I worked my way up and I worked my way down
I been drunk and I been sober
I been baptized and hyjacked

Worked my way in jail and I worked my way outta jail
Woke up a lot of mornins didnt know where I was at
The hardest work I ever done was when I was tryin to
Get myself a worried woman to help ease my worried mind

Im gonna tell ya just how much work I had to do
To get this woman I was tellin you about

I shook hands with 97 of her kinfolk and her blood relatives
And I done just the same with 86 people
Whos just her friends and her neighbors

I kissed 73 babies and
Put dry pants on 34 of em well as others
Done this same thing well there are a lot of other things just like this

I held 125 wild horses and put saddles and bridles on more than that

Harnessed some of the wildest and craziest teams in that whole country

I rode 14 loco broncos to a stand still
And I let 42 hound dogs lick me all over

7 times Is bit by hungry dogs and I was chewed
All to pieces by rattlesnakes and water moccasins on 2 river bottoms

I chopped and carried 314 arm loads of stove wood

109 buckets of coal
Carried a gallon of kerosene 18 miles over the mountains

Got lost lost a good pair of shoes in a mudhole

And I chopped and weeded 48 rows of short cotton
13 acres of bad corn
I cut the sticker weeds out of 11 back yards

All on account of cuz I wanted to show her
That I was a man and I liked to work
I cleaned out 9 barn lofts
Cranked 31 cars all makes and models

Pulled 3 cars out of mud holes and 4 or 5 out of snow drifts

I dug 5 cisterns of water for some of her friends
Run all kinds of errands

Played the fiddle for 9 church meetins
I Joined 11 separate denominations

I joined up and signed up with 7 best trade unions I could find

I paid my wages um a dues 6 months in advance

I waded 48 miles of swamps and 6 big rivers
Walked across 2 ranges of mountains and crossed 3 deserts

I got the fever Sun stroke Malaria blue

Moonstruck skeeter bit
Poison Ivy and the 7-year itch and the blind staggers

I was give up for less
Lost and dead a couple of times

Struck by lightning struck by Congress
Struck by friends and kinfolks well as by 3 cars on highways
A lot of times in peoples hen-houses

I been hit and run down run over
And walked on knocked around

Im just sittin here now tryin to study up what else
I can do to show that women
That I still aint afraid of hard work
