Lyrics

$15 just to dig a mans grave
$15 more to put him where he stays.
No good comes of a job undone.
So I hit the road with the rise of the sun.

Oh Oh
Saying Hey Yeah
Bless my momma till I get paid.

Lost my daddy in 19 and 3
Left my momma with my sisters and me
Nothing is the cupboard but an onion and a bun
So I hit the road with a shovel and a gun.

Singing Oh Oh (OH OH)
Saying Hey Yeah (HEY YEAH)
Bless my momma till I get paid.

I’ll find work in the hills or in the plains
Taking care of momma is worth any kind of pain.
$100 bounty for a man on the run.
So I look for the fella with a fully loaded gun.

Singing Oh Oh (OH OH)
Saying Hey Yeah ((HEY YEAH)
Bless my momma (OOOOoo) till I get paid.

In the city or the country
I’ll do what I need to do
I’ll work a Factory or foundry
to give my momma her due.
No work in this world
for her I wouldn’t do.

$15 just to dig a mans grave.
$15 more just to put him where he stays.
$15 just to dig a mans grave.
