Standard (EADGBE)

Pay me a dollar for my sweat and my blood

 With callus hands I work the land in the pain and the mud

 I take pride in what I do to serve is my own joy

 I will work hard for you good sir I'm an all-American boy

I say hey for my lazy work today

That's right I'll be working through tonight

Say hey I found a better way

That's right I'll be working through tonight

Pay me a dollar for my sweat is my pay

I live to work it's fun I shirk to me there's no other way

My life's the job I won't be a slob my family time can wait

Listen here my darling dear to die on the job is my fate
