[Intro]
G A7 D
[Verse 1]
D G D A7
I was born in the Depression and my daddy's big obsession
G A7 D
Was a high school education for us kids
D G D A7
And I remember Papa saying that unless his health was failing
G A7 D
He'd feed us without welfare, and he did
A7 D
There were college men not eating, wouldn't take a job beneath 'em
G D A7
You could see them in the soup lines day by day
A7 D
While my daddy's only training was to work without complaining
E A7
And to thank God for his blessings every day
D G D A7
So although his only skill was in the fact that he was willing
G A7 D
Every night, we went to bed with stomachs filled
D G D A7
And the day after Pearl Harbor, Papa headed off to war
G A7 D
For he'd be damned before they'd wreck the things he built
[Interlude]
G A7 D
[Verse 2]
D G D A7
I'll contribute to and sympathize with orphans and with widowed wives
G A7 D
But feed an able-bodied man, I won't
D G D A7
So you're carrying your placards and you're burning up your draft cards
G A7 D
You're signs read 'give a damn' but I just don't
A7 D
There's one thing you can't inherit, you must take your hands and tear it
G D A7
From the movements that would drive our country mad
A7 D
And that hard-to-win commodity is what you call your liberty
E A7
And many have-nots have not 'cause they have not tried to have
D G D A7
You think the right to work means 'at the top' and so you quit the job you've got
G A7 D
On Tuesday, you line up for your welfare
D G D A7
You may call this sacrilegious, but you have to earn a privilege
G A7 D
And you'll find you have to work to get your share
G A7 D
Yes, you'll find you have to work to get your share
