WORKIN from DARK COUNTRY by Gal George

WORKIN

Workin', workin' much too long,
Grinding all day, holding on so strong.
The clock ticks slow like a broken gong,
But I keep humming my working song.

Calloused hands from the hammer's prong,
Carrying dreams that don't belong.
For silver spoons, for the wine-soaked throng –
For folks like me who've waited long!

I'm gonna be workin', workin' till it's done,
Workin', workin' till it's done!

I've been workin' long,
Baby, much too long.

Yeah, I've been workin' long, baby,
I've been workin' long.

With a tired smile, where the brave belong,
I keep singing my working song.
But I'd be better off with something else to do:
spending my whole day making love to you!

I'm gonna be workin', workin' till it's done,
Workin', workin' till it's done!

Oh, sweet lawdy mama!
I'm gonna be workin', workin' till it's done,
That's right!

I've been workin' long,
Baby, much too long ...
