1
When I was a little boy
2
Daddy used to say to me
3
"Son, we got a lot of land
4
We got a lot of work to be done
5
Go get your marbles put 'em in the house
6
Tear down your castles in the sand
7
Come with your poppy to the cotton patch
8
Get a little dirt on your hands, get a little dirt on your hands
9
Get a little dirt on your hands, son
10
Get a little dirt on your hands
11
If you're gonna grow up to be a big, big man
12
Get a little dirt on your hands
13
Get a little dirt on your hands"
14
Well, I reached twenty-one
15
And I thought I was a pretty big wheel
16
I left the country for the city
17
Met a slicker with a shady deal
18
He said, "Hold up the bank, boy and take all the money
19
And run as fast as you can
20
The only way you'll ever get along in this world
21
Is to get a little dirt on your hands, get a little dirt on your hands
22
Get a little dirt on your hands, son
23
Get a little dirt on your hands
24
If you want to grow up to be a big, big man
25
Get a little dirt on your hands
26
Get a little dirt on your hands"
27
Well, it's four in the morning
28
And the warden is calling' my name
29
He said he's teaching' me a lesson
30
Now he's making' me go work in the rain
31
Dig that ditch, boy, fill it up
32
I'm wanting you to understand
33
The only way to straighten out a guy like you
34
Is to get a little dirt on his hands, get a little dirt on his hands
35
Hey, David got to get a little dirt on those hands boy
36
Yeah, if you want to grow up to be a big, big man
37
You better remember what old Whispering Bill
38
Told you in this song, get a little dirt on those hands
39
Get a little dirt on your hands, son
40
Get a little dirt on your hands
41
If you want to grow up to be a big, big man
42
Get a little dirt on your hands
43
Get a little dirt on your hands
44
Get a little dirt on your hands, son
45
I got a little dirt on my hands
46
Get a little dirt on your hands
At 85, David Allan Coe FINALLY Destroys ...
