Lyrics
Well, sometimes I am happy, sometimes sad Thinkin' of the good times I have had Thinkin' of the places I have been -- Sometimes down, sometimes up, sometimes in
On my way -- to another workin' day On my way -- and I wish that I could stay On my way -- but I have no time to play And I hope that I will see you on my way
And I got me a job in buffalo And it's cold when those chilly lake winds blow And it's hot when that steel furnace glows; It was dirty when that steel smoke rose
On my way -- to another workin' day On my way -- and I wish that I could stay On my way -- but I have no time to play And I hope that I will see you on my way
Then california called me for a while And the sun was shinin' every single mile It was gettin' so darned crowded I could cry Crossin' land and sea and fallin' from the sky
On my way -- to another workin' day On my way -- and I wish that I could stay On my way -- but I have no time to play And I hope that I will see you on my way
And I've been all along the southern shore And the people there were lookin' mighty poor They were waitin' for the factories to arrive And some of them were fightin' to survive
On my way -- to another workin' day On my way -- and I wish that I could stay On my way -- but I have no time to play And I hope that I will see you on my way
Yes, I've been all up and down the line But somehow my money stayed behind A good payin' job is hard to find And the graveyard's lookin' for another sign
On my way -- to another workin' day On my way -- and I wish that I could stay On my way -- but I have no time to play And I hope that I will see you on my way
