Laborer

Laborer

For every dime

I've got a thousand times yours, laborer

I got a thousand of your kind doing my overtime, laborer

And while a life like yours couldn't be very nice

I'm lying at home

Just drinking my tea and ice yeah, laborer

For every penny you've earned

I've got a thousand to burn yeah, laborer

When my money's all gone

I've got a thousand in bonds yeah, laborer

But there's things which you have

Which my money can't buy

And I know I must have them

Or else I will die yeah, laborer

Oh you've got something that doesn't have a price

A loving woman to hold and kiss each night

The only way it's going to be mine

Is if I change my ways and become a laborer

Laborer

Laborer

I'll give my pearls for the love of that girl yeah, laborer

Your woman's heart that's a feeling you don't hide, laborer

I made it that way and I'll have to rich

I'd rather be poor, take an inch, and be a laborer

Oh you've got something that doesn't have a price

A loving woman to hold and kiss each night

The only way it's going to be mine

Is if I change my ways and become a laborer
