Hard Work Boogie Songtext
von St. Louis Jimmy Oden

I′ll get lucky some day and I won't have to work no more
I′ll get lucky some day and I won't have to work no more
I've had hard jobs, every town or city I go

I worked hard in Chicago and Mississippi too
Worked hard in Chicago and Mississippi too
Can′t find nothing easy to make big money like you

Got corns in my hands and calluses on my feet
Got corns in my hands and calluses on my feet
Work so doggone hard I can′t even eat or sleep


I works hard all the summer and the same way in the fall
Works hard all the summer and the same way in the fall
Go to church on Sunday, I'm dressed in overalls

Boogie awhile!

Every day you′re Sunday, you're dressed up all the time
Every day you′re Sunday, you're dressed up all the time
I′ll be like you when I get work off my mind

They call me Jimmy, but hard work is my name
They call me Jimmy, but hard work is my name
Out of all my working, I can't save a doggone thing

What's the use of keep working? I won′t get rich no way
What′s the use of me working? I won't get rich no way
Can′t have no fun, I got too many bills to pay
