[F] [G] Well, I am hard workin' John, you'd better pull your britches up, spit on your hands,
rub on your knees, the devil's right behind you, don't you wait until he catches up, get
on with it John, for [F] God's sake, please!
I [Em] said hard workin' [G] John, I know you need coops and I'm down on my knees, and you don't
know [G] what to do, it's a serious matter now, and nobody is jokin', the hour has come, and
[C] it's up to you!
[Am] Well, [D] listen here [E] John, ain't [Am] it time for stallin', we're all deep [E] water right [Am] up to
our chin, the devil is a droolin', the angels are a-callin', get yourself [E] together and [Dm] commence to [G] begin!
Hard workin' John, the time is a waste of time, help me to John is eat it now, the shadow's
on the sun, I do believe in light as faith, so come on John, and show [C] us how, how!
