[Verse 1]
AIn a hovel now I sit,
thinking oDf the days gone Aby,
When I owned my farm, my house and my Ehome
But theA mortgage on my land
'took it aDll for its demaAnd,
And I sit and wonder whEere I now can roAam.
[Chorus]
AWork, work, work,
the livelong day,
EToil on from morAning until nigEht
And I Atry to cheer my wife
Ain the miDdst of all the stArife
But I fDalter though I trEy with all my miAght.
[Verse 2]
AIn the front ranks we will stand
and will raDise a warning haAnd,
To the ones who robbed us of our herEitage
And thAey best heed our demands,
and retDurn to us our laAnds
Or we'll vote them down a hEundred thousand moAre..
[Chorus]
AWork, work, work,
the livelong day,
EToil on from morAning until nigEht
And I Atry to cheer my wife
Ain the miDdst of all the stArife
But I fDalter though I trEy with all my miAght.
[Verse 3]
AWe are waiting for the day
we can Djoin in Freedom'As fray,
And will help to fight the revolution Eo'er.
So we'll tAhrow dull care away
with our pDoor hearts almost Agay
When we think of having laEnd and home once moAre,
[Chorus]
AWork, work, work,
the livelong day,
EToil on from morAning until nigEht
And I Atry to cheer my wife
Ain the miDdst of all the stArife
But I fDalter though I trEy with all my miAght.
