A Job Of Work (LP Version)

[00:00.000]	作词 : Tom Paxton
[00:01.000]	作曲 : Tom Paxton
[00:06.03]	I hate unemployment and I'll tell you why
[00:08.98]	I wanna keep working 'til the day I die
[00:11.55]	I like to work, I do it well and when I can't feed my family
[00:17.33]	Lord I feel like hell
[00:18.67]	Lord, give me a job of work to do
[00:23.05]	Lord, give me a job of work to do
[00:28.14]	That's all I want, that's all I ask of you
[00:39.50]	The man from the government says it's fine
[00:42.41]	To walk on over to the free food line
[00:45.33]	Nice of the government to be so fair
[00:47.64]	But I don't want my friends to see me there
[00:51.13]	Lord, give me a job of work to do
[00:56.73]	Lord, give me a job of work to do
[01:01.71]	That's all I want, that's all I ask of you
[01:13.06]	I was born and raised in these old hills
[01:16.40]	I never left 'em and I never will
[01:18.87]	I'm able-bodied, my friends are, too
[01:21.72]	And all that we want is a job to do
[01:24.68]	Lord, give me a job of work to do
[01:30.61]	Lord, give me a job of work to do
[01:35.61]	That's all I want, that's all I ask of you
[02:04.23]	Well, these are the worst times I have seen
[02:07.06]	I don't want to seem ungrateful or mean
[02:09.67]	But a man's got to raise his family
[02:12.61]	And I can't stand to raise 'em on charity
[02:16.38]	Lord, give me a job of work to do
[02:21.85]	Lord, give me a job of work to do
[02:26.64]	That's all I want, that's all I ask of you
