Bill Anderson - Get A Little Dirt On Your Hands lyrics

rate me

When I was a little boy my daddy used to say to me son

We got a little big land and a lotta hard work to be done

Go get your marbels put 'em in the house tear down your castles in the sand

Come with your pappy to the cotton patch and get a little dirt on your hands

Get a little dirt on your hands boy get a little dirt on your hands

If you're gonna grow up to be a big big man

(You gotta) get a little dirt on your hands (you gotta) get a little dirt on your hands

Well I got to be twenty and I thought I was a pretty big wheel

Left the country for the city met a slicker with a shady deal

He siad hold up the tavern take all the money run as fast as you can

If you're gonna get along in this big bad world

You gotta get a little dirt on your hands

Get a little dirt on your hands boy...

Well it's four in the morning and the warden is a calling my name

Says he's teaching me a lesson gonna send me out to work in the rain

Dig that ditch boy chop that corn I gotta make you understand

Only way to straighten out a guy like you is to get a little dirt on your hands

Get a little dirt on your hands boy...
