| Pay my respect to the company store
|
| I ain’t got no money don’t want no more
|
| Pay my respects to the company boys
|
| now just move along
|
| I worked hard for every little bit I got
|
| And got lucky once on some advice
|
| Met a dark haired girl that the Mississippi moon
|
| Musta left by mistake one night
|
| In a hurry, Lord
|
| And that ain’t the hardest part
|
| The hardest part is loving
|
| Somebody that cares for you so much
|
| Promises don’t pay cash at the bank
|
| If they did I’m bidding your word
|
| They couldn’t pay me for the time that it took to write a check
|
| To buy a babydoll for my girl
|
| And I worked hard for every little bit I got
|
| The things I got are gonna stay
|
| and it’s been flooding so hard on them company mines
|
| That you know it’s gonna flood someday
|
| And you’re gonna miss someone
|
| And that ain’t the hardest part
|
| The hardest part is loving somebody that cares for you
|
| And that ain’t the hardest part
|
| The hardest part is working and I’ve worked enough
|
| I could stretch that penny like a silver line
|
| Rolling through the pages of my life
|
| Underneath your name where it’s underlined
|
| I’ve been turned around
|
| I’ve been mystified by a true love
|
| And that ain’t the hardest part
|
| Talkin' bout a true love
|
| And that ain’t the hardest part
|
| And that ain’t the hardest part
|
| And that ain’t the hardest part |
