You Got To Work To Get Your Pay Lightnin' Hopkins

[Intro]
Altogether, I believe the old stuff is the best
That's what I believe about it
And everybody know
Just a little bit of this, talkin’

[Verse 1]
You try to tell me in the morning
'Bout the break of day
If you don't go to work
How you gon’ get your pay?
I leave soon in the morning
With my mule and plow
On a saddle I'll come home
And I try to satisfy everybody
They got the word to draw the pay
You know they done stop payin' you on a Friday
On a Saturday
And on a Sunday, you don't draw your pay

[Verse 2]
You know you get up in the, in the morning
And don't feel so well
But still, you still gon' be called out by that big bell
I was layin' in my bed
When I heard the big bell ring
I couldn't do nothin’ but have the blues and get up
And I began to sing
I gotta go to work this morning
I gotta work, yes, I’ll leave
For the thing I'm gon’ do next
I guess I'll just have to wait and see
