Losing The Dogs

(albüm: Ten Years After - 1967)

Ah....Let me hear it now! All...right!
Well you work the day sweating while you're trying to earn your bread, ha!
Well you gotta work hard man, knock yourself dead haooww!
Well you wanna drink of water, man you ain't got time to stop
Alright the man said it's better for ya working til you drop, work on!
Well you're working for the boss man all the day long
The trouble with my life is I lived it all wrong, hey! Lived it wrong baby

Hey-oh, ya gotta make it work gotta make it soon, oh-yeah
I only gotta wait til there ain't no moon hey!
You gotta lose the dogs and keep a running on, hey-yeah
When you wake up in the morning, baby I'll be gone I'm gone!
Well I live a life of ease well I ain't got no pain
They're never gonna get me on the farm again
Ain't working like a dog aw.....ain't working nowhere alright!
Hah.......Yeah.......I'm on a slave gang.......Oh!

Oh yeah, yea.....eah, alright I'm gonna tell you something oh yeah,
Well I'm lying by myself and I'm thinking about my wife yeah, ha, ha!
The last time I saw her she was lying on my knife and that's a fact!
I tried to make it running but they caught me next day mercy!
The world is in my cell, and I'm wasting time away
Well I don't know why I bother boy, I don't know why I care
The preacher's been to see me, and I'm going to the chair ha, ha
See if I care, burn me up! Alright, I'll get 'em back someday!
No more work for me man I won't have a care!
