Now it used to be the time : be getting two bucks a day
But now we getting fifty cents : *running down* proper 
pay
Time : time is drawing near
Now can't you see : more and more every year
Now I remember back in time : before we got grown
Be damned : to let sundown catch a ??? on
Now my mother used to say : the sign will be
We couldn't tell summer from winter : no more by the 
birds and of the trees
Now it used to be the time : get a corn crop in March
But now we can't get one in June : and neither July
Now you'd go to the church : just to work for soul
But now we go : to buy one another's clothes
