Well it's up this hill and down and up this hill again
Up this hill and down and 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 about to get me down but I sure do like the pain
Well it's up this hill and down...
[ guitar ]
Someday I'll have some money and I won't have to work so hard
Yes 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 some troubles other times it's misery
Yes sometimes I've got some troubles other times it's misery
It seems like everything bad hangs around with me
Well it's up this hill and down...
