| I'd like to tell you 'bout my home town | |
| But it's awfully hard to explain to a stranger | |
| It's been a year since I went down | |
| To the place that I was born and raised, sir, oh. | |
| I gotta make it rich I'm getting tired of digging ditches back on the farm | |
| I got a girl I wanna marry and I know that she loves me | |
| Yes, I'm ready for work, I got my shirt sleeves rolled up around my arms | |
| I got a chance to make it rich in a textile factory. | |
| Well, my papa was a poor man but always did the best he could | |
| And he whipped my behind whenever I wasn't good | |
| There were six of us children in my family | |
| Mmm and not a single one of us has ever learned how to read. | |
| Well, I'm really not complaining, my parents were the best you could have | |
| Well, I love my mama and I really respected my dad. | |
| Well, let me tell you that every Sunday morning we would dress in our Sunday clothes | |
| And we would listen to a sermon from the preacher about our good Lord | |
| Well, the preacher said : 'Child, be thankful for the food you eat' | |
| But my tastes are getting bigger, I think I'll be traveling East. | |
| You know I gotta make it rich, I'm getting tired of digging ditches back on the farm | |
| I got a girl I wanna marry and I know that she loves me | |
| Yes, I'm ready for work, I got my sleeves rolled up around my arms | |
| I got a chance to make it rich in a textile factory. | |
| Well, now listen here brother if you think you've got it bad | |
| Mmm well, what do you think about the life I've had ? | |
| Well, my father said to me : 'Son, you know you've got to earn your keep' | |
| So I've been working from sun up to sun down since I was thirteen | |
| Well, my father said : 'Boy, be thankful got a place to sleep' | |
| But I've been sleeping awful restless and I think I'll be moving East. | |
| You know I gotta make it rich, I'm getting tired of digging ditches back on the farm | |
| I got a girl I wanna marry and I know that she loves me | |
| Yes, I'm ready for work, I got my sleeves rolled up around my arms | |
| I got a chance to make it rich in a textile factory. | |
