Luyện nghe bài hát Talking Hard Work

While we are on the subject of work
I just wanted to say you that, "I was a man who likes hard work"
I was born working and I my way up by hard work
I ain't ever got no where, but I got there by work

of the hardest kind I been down and I been out
I been disgusted I busted and I couldn't be trusted
I my way up and I worked my way down
I been drunk and I been sober, I been baptized and got
I been robbed for cash and I robbed on a credit

Worked my way in jail and I worked my way outta
Woke up a lot of mornin's, know where I was at
The hardest work I ever done was, when I was
To get myself a worried to help ease my worried mind

I'm tell ya just how much work I had to do
To get this woman I was tellin' you about, I shook
With seven of her kinfolk and her blood relatives
And I done just the same with six people
Who's just her friends and her

I kissed seventy babies and put dry pants
On thirty four of em', well as others done this same thing times
Well there are a lot of things just like this
I held one hundred twenty five wild
And put saddles and bridles on more than

Harnessed some of the craziest and wildest teams in whole country'
I rode fourteen loco to a stand still
And I let forty two hound dogs lick me all over seven
I's bit by hungry dogs and I was all to pieces
My water moccasins and rattlesnakes on two river

I and carried three hundred fourteen arm loads
Of stove wood, one hundred buckets of coal
Carried a gallon of eighteen miles over the mountains
Got lost, lost a pair of shoes in a mud hole
And I chopped and weeded forty rows of short cotton

Thirteen acres of bad corn, I cut the weeds
Out of eleven back yards, all on of 'cause
I wanted to her that I was a man and I liked to work
I cleaned out nine barn lofts, cranked thirty one
All makes and models, three cars out of mud holes
And four or five out of drifts

I dug five of water for some of her friends
Run all kinds of errands, played the fiddle for
Church meetin's I Joined eleven separate
I joined up and up with seven best trade unions
I could find, I my wages, a, dues six months in advance

I waded eight miles of swamps and six big rivers
Walked across two ranges of
Crossed three deserts, I got the fever, sun stroke, Malaria,
Moonstruck, skeeter bit, poison ivy and the seven year
And the blind staggers, I was give up for less, and dead

A couple of times struck by lightning, struck by
by friends and kinfolks eell as by three cars on highways
A lot of times in people's hen houses, I hit and run down
Run over and walked on knocked around, I'm just sittin'
Now tryin' to study up what else I can do to show women
That I still ain't afraid of work
