Luyện nghe bài hát Talking Hard Work

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

Work of the hardest kind I down and I been out
I been disgusted I been busted and I be trusted
I worked my way up and I my way down
I been and I been sober, I been baptized and got hijacked
I robbed for cash and I been robbed on a credit

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

I'm gonna tell ya just how work I had to do
To get woman I was tellin' you about, I shook hands
ninety seven of her kinfolk and her blood relatives
And I done just the same with eighty six
Who's just her and her neighbors

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

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

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

Thirteen of bad corn, I cut the sticker weeds
Out of eleven back yards, all on account of
I wanted to show her that I was a man and I to work
I cleaned out nine barn lofts, thirty one cars
All makes and models, pulled three out of mud holes
And or five out of snow drifts

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

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

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