Jungle Of The Midwest Sea cover
07. Pay Me A Dollar
Album: Jungle Of The Midwest Sea
Artist: Flatfoot 56
         
 

Pay me a dollar for my sweat and my blood
With callus hands I work the land in the pain and the mud
I take pride in what I do to serve is my own joy
I will work hard for you good sir I’m an all-American boy

I say hey for my lazy work today
That’s right I’ll be working hard tonight
Say hey I found a better way
That’s right I’ll be working through tonight

Pay me a dollar for my sweat is my pay
I live to work it’s fun I shirk to me there’s no other way
My life’s the job I won’t be a slob my family time can wait
Listen here my darling dear to die on the job is my fate




Behind the Song:
"This song is a dedication to those who work and toile in America today. It outlines two different outlooks on work and is meant to be an anthem for those who work hard for their families." - Flatfoot 56
