1
I been thinking lately about the people I meet
2
The car wash on the corner and the hole in the street
3
The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet
4
And I'm wondering if I'm gonna see tomorrow
5
Father forgive us for what we must do
6
You forgive us and we'll forgive you
7
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue
8
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven
9
I was in the army but I never dug a trench
10
I used to bust my knuckles on a monkey wrench
11
Then I'd go to town and drink and give the girls a pinch
12
But I don't think they ever even noticed me
13
Father forgive us for what we must do
14
You forgive us and we'll forgive you
15
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue
16
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven
17
Fish and whistle, whistle and fish
18
Eat everything that they put on your dish
19
And when we get through we'll make a big wish
20
That we never have to do this again, again, again
21
On my very first job I said, "Thank you" and "Please"
22
They made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees
23
Then I got fired for being scared of bees
24
And they only give me fifty cents an hour
25
Father forgive us for what we must do
26
You forgive us and we'll forgive you
27
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue
28
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven
29
Fish and whistle, whistle and fish
30
Eat everything that they put on your dish
31
And when we get through we'll make a big wish
32
That we never have to do this again, again, again
33
Father forgive us for what we must do
34
You forgive us and we'll forgive you
35
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue
36
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven
37
We'll whistle and go fishing in heaven
38
We'll whistle and go fishing in heaven
