Sitting In The Shade Lyrics

(Dolly Parton)

Just as sure as I'm born when the morning sun comes up
Out on the job working hours long and rough
Cause I've got a family and I've got to keep 'em fed
Got to keep 'em clothed to keep a roof o'er their heads.

And I ain't a gonna do it sittin' in the shade
Got to work in sweat and toil for every sin I've made
But I've got to bring the bacon home and see the bills're paid
And I ain't a gonna do it sittin' in the shade.

I go to church on Sunday and offer thanks to God
For these hard working hands and what litlle we have got
By the sweat of the brow just like the Good Book says
I work like the devil to earn my daily bread.

Now I ain't a gonna do it sittin' in the shadePorter Wagoner - Sitting In The Shade - http://motolyrics.com/porter-wagoner/sitting-in-the-shade-lyrics.html
Got to work in sweat and toil for every sin I've made
But I've got to bring the bacon home and see the bills're paid
And I ain't a gonna do it sittin' in the shade.

Life don't come easy for a hard working man
That makes his ivin' with his two calloused hands
But I reckon it would be wrong for me to complain
But I reckon it's alright for me to dream of better things.

I ain't a gonna do it sittin' in the shade
Got to work in sweat and toil for every sin I've made
But I've got to bring the bacon home and see the bills're paid
And I ain't a gonna do it sittin' in the shade.

No, I ain't a gonna do it sittin' in the shade...
