《The Work Song》歌词

时长： 03:48

Back before the blues were blue[00:00:00]

When the good ol' songs were new[00:00:04]

Songs that may no longer please us[00:00:10]

'Bout the darkies about Jesus[00:00:15]

Mississippi minstrels color of molasses[00:00:20]

Strummed their banjos to entertain their massas[00:00:24]

Some said garbage others cried art[00:00:29]

You couldn't call it soul you had to call it heart[00:00:33]

Backs broke bending digging holes to plant the seeds[00:00:41]

The owners ate the cane and the workers ate the weeds[00:00:46]

Put the wood in the stove the water in the cup[00:00:50]

You worked so hard that you died standing up[00:00:54]

When I was a little thing[00:01:03]

Papa tried to make me sing[00:01:08]

Home Sweet Home and Aura Lee[00:01:13]

These were songs that my daddy tought me[00:01:18]

Camptown Races and Susannah Don't You Cry[00:01:22]

Gentle Annie still brings a tear to my eye[00:01:27]

Label it garbage label it art[00:01:32]

You couldn't call it soul you had to call it heart[00:01:36]

Backs broke bending digging holes to plant the seeds[00:01:44]

The owners ate the cane and the workers ate the weeds[00:01:48]

Put the wood in the stove the water in the cup[00:01:52]

You worked so hard that you died standing up[00:01:57]

Sing me songs of days gone by[00:02:06]

Watch me laugh watch me cry[00:02:11]

Break my female heart in two[00:02:16]

Sing me songs that say "I love you"[00:02:20]

Lower your eyes raise your hand to your breast[00:02:27]

Sing me one about the sun setting in the west[00:02:34]

Backs broke bending digging holes to plant the seeds[00:02:51]

The owners ate the cane and the workers ate the weeds[00:02:56]

Put the wood in the stove the water in the cup[00:03:00]

You worked so hard that you died standing up[00:03:04]

Wood's in the stove water's in the cup[00:03:12]

You worked so hard that you died standing up[00:03:21]
