Phos'phrous chimney burnin'

Modern-men's a-learnin'

Time and space a-turnin' 

Motor's engine churnin'

fac'trys no place for me boss man let me be 


Wind and wave all blowin'

Mountain 'n sky showin'

Bee 'n flower growin'

Boy 'n girl are glowin'

fac'trys no place for me boss man let me be 


Minds inside are goin'

Muscle 'n bone are showin''

One thing sure am knowin'

Get a fire goin' 

factory's no place for me boss man let me be

boss man let me be boss man leave me be
