My daddy came a marchin' Over the hill at dawn Had to make that wage man That's how we got along
My daddy's life was workin' Workin' all day long Put food on the table And the children sang a song
Yes, the children sang a song My grandad's name was pulpwood Wore a coat of green Took a wife in '31
Drove the big machine My daddy load the lumber Put it on the truck Used to see him walkin' home on U.S. 41 That's right, U.S. 41
All my life's been workin' Out the door and gone Got to make that overtime
Keep us movin' on Need a drink of water To get out of the sun
Burnin' up to make that wage on U.S. 41 That's right, U.S. 41 The boss man owns the business Keeps it goin' strong
Be blowin' like a hurricane and Work like nothin's wrong We got to keep on movin' 'til the bell gone ring
Fill her up with kerosene And let that lady sing Whoa now, let that lady sing His given name was Lucky
His wife's name Annie Brown Run outside the law And they chased him right on down Lucky faced the lawman
The captain drew his gun They put him with a sling blade On U.S. 41 That's right, U.S. 41
