Get A Little Dirt On Your Hands — текст песни (Bill Anderson)

When I was a little boy my daddy used to say to me son
We got a little big land and a lotta hard work to be done
Go get your marbels put `em in the house tear down your castles in the sand
Come with your pappy to the cotton patch and get a little dirt on your hands
Get a little dirt on your hands boy get a little dirt on your hands
If you`re gonna grow up to be a big big man
(You gotta) get a little dirt on your hands (you gotta) get a little dirt on your hands

Well I got to be twenty and I thought I was a pretty big wheel
Left the country for the city met a slicker with a shady deal
He siad hold up the tavern take all the money run as fast as you can
If you`re gonna get along in this big bad world
You gotta get a little dirt on your hands
Get a little dirt on your hands boy...

Well it`s four in the morning and the warden is a calling my name
Says he`s teaching me a lesson gonna send me out to work in the rain
Dig that ditch boy chop that corn I gotta make you understand
Only way to straighten out a guy like you is to get a little dirt on your hands
Get a little dirt on your hands boy...
