Lyrics
Ever since he was a young man He's been working so hard With a shovel and a pitchfork toiling in the rich man's yard. As he's grown older no wiser he became Busting his ass in the boiling hot sun no one but him to blame Times always get tougher and good jobs hard to find When you have no skill or education life don't treat you to kind He never found a woman Someone to call his wife He lived alone in a rundown shack and the bottle ruined his life Instrumental He died alone in his old shack not another soul around No children or wife to mourn him just put him in the ground The writing on his gravestone says simply Rest In Peace because two things he never had in life were any rest or peace He had no rest or peace! Instrumental
