Uncle John Farquhar |
Started work when I was ten |
Like my father did back then |
Driving Pittsburg steel with hammers under flames |
Fifty years up in that that mill |
I nearly killed myself and still |
I ain’t got no dollar bill to my name |
Old Bill Hicks from nowhere’s middle |
Taught me how to play the fiddle |
In East Ohio there ain’t too much goin' on |
But we like it that way here |
Not much changes every year |
Except the whiskey jug gets lower |
Til it’s gone |
At the same old screen door |
That the dog scratched through |
And the same old wood floor |
Underneath my shoe |
And the same old woman |
Making chicken every night |
Yeah, I guess did alright |
I was only seventeen |
Met a girl from Bowling Green |
It was the fieriest kind of winter fling |
She got pregnant with my son |
I didn’t have nowhere to run |
So I manned up and we married in the Spring |
At the same old screen door |
That the dog scratched through |
And the same old wood floor |
Underneath my shoe |
And the same old woman |
Causin' trouble every night |
Yeah, I guess I did alright |
Started work when I was ten |
Like my father did back then |
Drivin' Pittsburg steel with hammers under flames |
Now I’m nearly sixty-eight |
Got a gal that sets me straight |
And I’ve got supper on my plate |
And I’ve got grandkids on the way |
And I owe money to the state |
Because my taxes all were late |
But if you think I care then you’re just makin' noise |
At the same old screen door |
That the dog scratched through |
And the same old wood floor |
Underneath my shoe |
And the same old woman |
Leavin' on that old porch light |
Yeah, I guess I did alright |
