Up this hill and down, up this hill again

Up this hill and down, up this hill again

It's a mighty, mighty long road

What ain't got no end.



Well, it's five o'clock in the morning till twelve o'clock at night

It's five o'clock in the morning till twelve o'clock at night

I work so hard to live

I ain't got no life.



If a woman doesn't kill you she'll drive you insane

If a woman doesn't kill you she'll drive you insane

Love's 'bout to get me down

But I sure do like the pain.



Up this hill and down, up this hill again

Up this hill and down, up this hill again

It's a mighty, mighty long road

What ain't got no end.

Someday I'll have some money I won't have to work so hard

Someday I'll have me some money and I won't have to work so hard

Saturday I'll talk to my woman

Sunday I'll talk to my Lord.



Sometimes I've got troubles other time it's misery

Sometimes I've got troubles other time it's misery

It seems like everything bad

Hangs around with me.



Up this hill and down, up this hill again

Up this hill and down, up this hill again

It's a mighty, mighty long road

What ain't got no end...
