I'm a working[00:00:01]
On the line[00:00:02]
Six days at a time[00:00:03]
With a shovel and a spade[00:00:06]
I'm digging for the shade[00:00:09]
But I keep getting paid the same[00:00:11]
Been working for a man and he likes my style[00:00:13]
The more I sweat the more he smiles[00:00:16]
The more I sweat the deeper I get[00:00:19]
He's driving this poor boy wild[00:00:22]
I can't live no good on what I get paid[00:00:25]
I know trouble's just a poor man's claim to fame[00:00:28]
But the prices keep rising every day[00:00:30]
And I keep getting paid the same[00:00:33]
I get up every mornin' 'bout half past six[00:00:38]
Drink a pot a' coffee just to load a ton of bricks[00:00:41]
Long about noon I'm thinkin' that soon[00:00:44]
You're gonna work this poor boy sick [00:00:46]
I can't buy beans on what I get paid[00:00:49]
I was cooking biscuits when the bill collector came[00:00:52]
And the prices keep rising everyday[00:00:55]
And I keep getting paid the same[00:00:58]
I lay down my hammer when the whistle sounds[00:01:27]
I bury my shovel in the deep deep ground[00:01:30]
I run to my home to see my honey comb[00:01:33]
When that evening sun goes down[00:01:36]
I can't live to good on what I get paid[00:01:39]
My roof's got a hole and It's looking like rain[00:01:42]
And the prices keep rising everyday[00:01:45]
And I keep getting paid the same[00:01:48]
I keep getting paid the same[00:02:00]
I keep getting paid the same[00:02:04]
I keep getting paid the same[00:02:08]
I keep getting paid the same[00:02:13]
I keep getting paid the same[00:02:17]
I keep getting paid the same[00:02:21]
