Morning Town Ride – The Seekers
Most times I have had trouble with transport to get to work. One time I got on the wrong train, and jumped off. I hadn’t realized that the train had picked up so much speed. I won’t do that again! Many times I have had car trouble, and sometimes bus trouble. All just to try and make a living. One time I had my car stolen.
Banana boat song – Harry Belafonte
Here are some of my favorite working songs. I was listening to this one on the radio this week, so here it is. I know what it is like to work all night, and long to go home and sleep. Lately everybody is saying “Happy holidays,” but soon it is back to the old grindstone old chap!
“I see him in my dreams at night, and wake up in the morning feeling tired!” I have been through that many times in the various jobs I have had.
It will drive you crazy if you let it! Many times you do a good job and you don’t get the credit you deserve.
Six days on the road – Dave Dudley
It is hard to be away from home, but to make a living, that is what you have to do sometimes.
Now I’m tired and I’m old, and I ain’t got no gold! Hey that’s me! However, I don’t know if God is going to be impressed about how hard I have tried to work. I know Jesus said we must store our treasure in heaven.
Cotton fields – Karl’s country Dutchmen
I think people all around the world like songs. I think this one is about the slave workers in the old southern states.
Tired of working, and not enough pay. Does that sound familiar?
A hundred and sixty acres- Sons of the Pioneers
“Up with dawn to meet the sun.” I have to get out there before the sun comes up!
It is a pity the motor industry has taken a downswing. I wish they could make cars that don’t need repairing. Every car I’ve had recently has cost me more money to fix, than what it cost to buy.
Streets of Baltimore – Bobby Bare
He comes home from work, and his whole body is sore. I know how he feels!
