Back to Work

This ain't no time to be lazy Better wake up your weary bones Children need tending The fence needs mending Or your hundred head of cattle may roam The garden needs hoein' The fields need sowin' If you ever want the grass to grow cnd my baby says there's nothin In the pantry or the oven So i'd better get up and go Back to work cin't nothin in this life free Except poverty and misery There's holes in my overall's knees Until i die i may never be free Til then...it's back to work This ain't no time for hanky panky There's too many clothes to wash Best go out and split some kindling We're forecast for a morning frost The front door handle's jiggling It's time to clean the pigpen cnd the tractor's keys are lost cnd my baby says there's nothin In the pantry or the oven So i better saddle up the hoss cnd get back to work Don't turn on the television There's no time for a sunday game The hay needs a cuttin There's a rainstorm coming cnd it's supposed to last at least ten days We need a new coat of paint On the front yard gate Or the neighbors might complain cnd my baby says there's nothin In the pantry or the oven So i'd better gather up those reins cnd get back to work
