[Chorus]
Wouldn't mind workin' from sun to sun
Spend my money when the day is done
[Verse 1]
I asked my captain what time of day
He looked at his watchman and he walked away
[Verse 2]
No I wouldn't mind working sun to sun
If you pay my money when the work is done
[Chorus]
Wouldn't mind workin' from sun to sun
Spend my money when the day is done
[Verse 3]
Six months ain't such a very long time
Got a friend in penitention doing ninety-nine
[Verse 4]
Went down the river nineteen and ten
Women in the ball and chain just like the men
[Verse 5]
Chew tobacco and spit my juice
I love somebody but it ain't no use
[Chorus]
Wouldn't mind workin' from sun to sun
Spend my money when the day is done
[Chorus]
Wouldn't mind workin' from sun to sun
Spend my money when the day is done
[Chorus]
Wouldn't mind workin' from sun to sun
Spend my money when the day is done
