Lyrics

I was workin' real hard in a gravel yard
when I came across a silver coin
You know it wasn't that much
but I tried my luck because I'd had enough of being employed
Mama mama don't worry long for me
I'm a man and I must find my way
Mama mama can't you tell Sue for me
If I stayed here I'd die in a working man's grave
Well I was dead flat broke and that wasn't no joke
'Cause I was swimming in a pile of debt
But I have to admit that when I up and quit
I pulled an iron shackle from my neck
Mama mama don't worry long for me
I'm a man and I must find my way
Mama mama can't you tell Sue for me
If I stayed here I'd die in a working man's grave
Well it's been some years and I've grown a beard
And I've taken to the life I lead
When I think of the past the thinkin' doesn't last
I have everything I ever need, I got everything I ever need
When I turned to leave I heard the pit boss scream
"Son you know you'll never return"
Well I didn't say a word I just flipped him the bird
and that's the last of me that he heard
The son of a bitch of the word
Mama mama don't worry long for me
I'm a man and I must find my way
Mama mama can't you tell Sue for me
If I stayed here I'd die in a working man's grave
