Well it's up this hill and down and up this hill again
Up this hill and down and up this hill again
It's a mighty mighty long road what ain't got no end

Well it's five o'clock in the morning till twelve o'clock at night

It's five o'clock in the morning till twelve o'clock at night

I work so hard to live I ain't got no life

If a woman doesn't kill you she'll drive you insane

If a woman doesn't kill you she'll drive you insane

Love's about to get me down but I sure do like the pain

Well it's up this hill and down...

[ guitar ]

Someday I'll have some money and I won't have to work so hard

Yes someday I'll have me some money and I won't have to work so hard

Saturday I'll talk to my woman Sunday I'll talk to my Lord

Sometimes I've got some troubles other times it's misery

Yes sometimes I've got some troubles other times it's misery

It seems like everything bad hangs around with me

Well it's up this hill and down...
