lirik lagu ely joe – i keep gettin’ paid the same
i’m a working
on the line
six days at a time
with a shovel and a spade
i’m digging for the shade
but i keep getting paid the same
1)
been working for a man and he likes my style
the more i sweat the more he smiles
the more i sweat the deeper i get
he’s driving this poor boy wild
i can’t live no good on what i get paid
i know trouble’s just a poor man’s claim to fame
but the prices keep rising every day
and i keep getting paid the same
2)
i get up every mornin’ ’bout half past six
drink a pot a’ coffee just to load a ton of bricks
long about noon, i’m thinkin’ that soon
you’re gonna work this poor boy sick.
i can’t buy beans on what i get paid
i was cooking biscuits when the bill collector came
and the prices keep rising everyday
and i keep getting paid the same
3)
i lay down my hammer when the whistle sounds
i bury my shovel in the deep deep ground
i run to my home to see my honey comb
when that evening sun goes down
i can’t live to good on what i get paid
my roof’s got a hole and it’s looking like rain
and the prices keep rising everyday
and i keep getting paid the same
