Joshua Davis - Workingman's Hymn lyrics

rate me

(verse)

Some people hunger for the greenback bill

Some folks hunger for the top of the hill

Some people just tryna get a decent meal

Well I know that we can turn it around

Some people sleeping in a fine feather bed

Some folks are dreaming of an old homestead

Some just need a place to lay their head

Well I know that we can turn it around

(Chorus)

I know that we can turn it around

There's one thing that I've found

If there's a force in the dim singing a workingman's hymn

I know that we can turn it around

(Verse 2)

River bottom up to home on high

In the light of the endless sky

Jetsetting or just getting by

I know that we can turn it around

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

From the 9th Ward up to Patoka Lake

One man's joy's been anotha man's pain

But the sun keeps shining through the driving rain

And I know that we can turn it around

(Chorus x2)
