WORK-A-DAY WARRIORS

That I ain't got no time to tell,
But every word is Gospel true—
I've done most o' the things mysel'.
That I ain't got no time to tell,
But every word is Gospel true—
I've done most o' the things mysel'.
"All vanity," the Preacher says,
"There's nothing new beneath the Sun—"
And still the curious things I've seen,
The amazing curious things I've done!
"There's nothing new beneath the Sun—"
And still the curious things I've seen,
The amazing curious things I've done!
Perchance a hundred years from now,
When I below the sod am jammed,
Some bloke will pick up this 'ere pome,
And read, and say, "Well, I'll be damned!"
When I below the sod am jammed,
Some bloke will pick up this 'ere pome,
And read, and say, "Well, I'll be damned!"
And say!—If for the hist'ry books,
Some o' my words seem rather warm,
Perhaps some bloke might sort 'em out—
I wouldn't do the kids no harm!
Some o' my words seem rather warm,

I wouldn't do the kids no harm!
