Wouldn't mind workin' sun to sun
Spend my money when the work is done
Wouldn't mind workin' sun to sun
Spend my money when the work is done

Ask my cap'n what time of day
Looked at his watch and then he walked away
No, I wouldn't mind workin' sun to sun
If you pay my money when the work is done

Wouldn't mind workin' sun to sun
Spend my money when the work is done
Wouldn't mind workin sun to sun
Spend my money when the work is done

Six months ain't such a very long time
I got a friend in penitention doin' ninety-nine
Went to the river nineteen and ten
Women in the ball and chain, just like men
Chew tobacco and spit my juice
I love somebody but it ain't no use

Wouldn't mind workin' sun to sun
Spend my money when the work is done
Wouldn't mind workin' sun to sun
Spend my money when the work is done
Wouldn't mind working from sun to sun
If you pay my money when the work is done
