Island in the sun: Lead Man Holler |
You hear me calling at the crack of dawn |
Jump up brothers come and face the morn |
Forget your aching from the day before |
'Cause today we’re goin' to do that and more |
Lead man holler, yo oh ho |
All men follow, down you go for a working dollar |
Yes he holler yo oh ho, all men follow |
Down we go for a working dollar |
I want de men, the women and the children too |
We got a long day out we got a lot to do |
We got to cut up, stack up and load the cane |
You better bring a shawl 'cause it look like rain |
Lead man holler, yo oh ho |
All men follow, down you go for a working dollar |
Yes he holler yo oh ho, all men follow |
Down we go for a working dollar |
Well a working man I am tired and true |
I won’t ask you nothin' that I wouldn’t do |
Well you pay today is the same as last |
Your work’s the same, just a little fast |
Lead man holler, yo oh ho |
All men follow, down you go for a working dollar |
Yes he holler yo oh ho, all men follow |
Down we go for a working dollar |
Well I’d like to tell you 'bout yesterday |
You work quite well, I am proud to say |
I want ev’ry man to try his will |
And make yesterday look like he was standing still |
Lead man holler, yo oh ho |
All men follow, down you go for a working dollar |
Yes he holler yo oh ho, all men follow |
Down we go for a working dollar |
