lyrics

“Hard Day’s Work”
Written by Molly Hanmer and Claudia Miles © 2020

Well I clock in come the morning
Just to go to work at night
I see my kids 6 hours a week
But it keeps them fed alright

No I ain’t ever known nothing
No I ain’t ever known nothing
No I ain’t ever known nothing
but a hard day’s work

I do it for my mother
2000 miles away
I ain’t seen her face in 20 years
But at least we’re getting paid
No I ain’t ever known nothing

No I ain’t ever known nothing
No I ain’t ever known nothing
but a hard day’s work

I cook and clean your dishes
I reap your fertile fields
I break my back and skin my knees
And take my honest yield

I live within the shadow
Of the white man’s dollar bill
I do the jobs they’ll never want
But always claim I steal

No I ain’t ever known nothing
No I ain’t ever known nothing
No I ain’t ever known nothing
but a hard day’s work
