Blessed Are The Ones
Blessed are the ones
who work so hard and get the least
With sweat and toil they work the soil
a life that has no ease
Man and wife in farming life
they work the whole day through
Dreaming of prosperity
but fate will be the rule
As they say you got it made
but not the way you think
If things keep going this way
it will drive a man to drink
Yes blessed are the ones
that work so hard and get the least
Through sleet and hail and windy gale
A life that has no ease
But your neighbors and your kin folk
will always come on strong
When every things against you
and everything gone wrong
The harvest is at ending
the season is all through
We will sit down and sing a song
and drink an old home brew
Talk about the things to do
things they haven't done
There isn't time enough in life
for having any fun
So just be glad for what you have
when life is some time cruel
Dreaming of prosperity
but fate will be the rule
