I'll get lucky some day and I won't have to work no more I'll get lucky some day and I won't have to work no more I've had hard jobs, every town or city I go I worked hard in Chicago and Mississippi too Worked hard in Chicago and Mississippi too Can't find nothing easy to make big money like you Got corns in my hands and calluses on my feet Got corns in my hands and calluses on my feet Work so doggone hard I can't even eat or sleep I works hard all the summer and the same way in the fall Works hard all the summer and the same way in the fall Go to church on Sunday, I'm dressed in overalls Boogie awhile! Every day you're Sunday, you're dressed up all the time Every day you're Sunday, you're dressed up all the time I'll be like you when I get work off my mind They call me Jimmy, but hard work is my name They call me Jimmy, but hard work is my name Out of all my working, I can't save a doggone thing What's the use of keep working? I won't get rich no way What's the use of me working? I won't get rich no way Can't have no fun, I got too many bills to pay
