Well its 5 o'clock in the morning till 10 c'clock at night
It's 5 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock at night
I work so hard to live that I ain't got no life

Up this hill and down, up this hill again
Up this hill and down, up this hill again
It's a might long road one ain't got no end

Sometimes I got me troubles, other times its misery
Sometimes I got such troubles other times its misery
It seems like everything bad just hanging round me

* Refrain

Someday I'm going to have money, and I won't have to work so hard
I'm saving up all my money so I won't have to work so hard
On Saturday spend it with my woman and on Sunday talk with my Lord

* Refrain

Well its 5 o'clock in the morning till 10 o'clock at night
It's 5 o'clock every morning untill 10 o'clock at night
I woke so hard to live that I ain't got no life

* Refrain
