| [00:15.86] |
He can knock down the wall |
| [00:18.24] |
Build it up strong |
| [00:20.11] |
Set the flagstones in a path |
| [00:23.36] |
With a nail and a hammer |
| [00:25.92] |
Barrow and saw |
| [00:27.74] |
See about the hole in the roof |
| [00:31.36] |
And the gathered all breathe |
| [00:33.74] |
A sigh of relief |
| [00:35.23] |
At completion of a well-laid plan |
| [00:39.24] |
It's wearing the day long |
| [00:41.54] |
And breaking the skin |
| [00:43.11] |
In the palms of the workingman's hands |
| [00:47.42] |
|
| [00:52.86] |
Let the tool do the work |
| [00:54.93] |
Pull and don't push |
| [00:56.92] |
Drag that wagon over the hill |
| [01:00.73] |
Measure twice and cut once, son |
| [01:02.99] |
Clear the felled brush |
| [01:04.80] |
Edge around the gardens and walks |
| [01:08.49] |
On a shiny John Deere |
| [01:10.92] |
Will he reappear |
| [01:12.23] |
With a power drill and a paintbrush |
| [01:14.92] |
And a chip on his shoulder |
| [01:18.48] |
As wide as a barn |
| [01:20.17] |
And as hard as the workingman's hands |
| [01:23.42] |
|
| [01:26.05] |
Now your Uncle John walked |
| [01:28.18] |
A mile to school |
| [01:29.99] |
In a storm and it was uphill both ways |
| [01:33.86] |
Oh, you save your money for a hole in the ground |
| [01:37.55] |
A black car and a long wall of roses |
| [01:45.00] |
|
| [02:02.43] |
And the gathered all breathe |
| [02:03.55] |
A sigh of relief |
| [02:04.99] |
At completion of a well-laid plan |
| [02:09.12] |
It's wearing the day long |
| [02:11.24] |
And breaking the skin |
| [02:13.05] |
In the palms of the workingman's hands |
| [02:19.19] |
Now the old iron gate |
| [02:21.06] |
Could use some fresh paint |
