When I was a little boy my daddy used to say to me son We got a lotta big land and a lotta hard work to be done Go get your marbles put 'em in the house Tear down your castles in the sand Come with your pappy to the cotton patch And get a little dirt on your hands Get a little dirt on your hands boy Get a little dirt on your hands If you're gonna grow up to be a big big man You gotta get a little dirt on your hands You gotta get a little dirt on your hands Well I got to be twenty and I thought I was a pretty big wheel Left the country for the city met a slicker with a shady deal He said hold up the tavern take all the money Run as fast as you can If you're gonna get along in this big bad world You gotta get a little dirt on your hands Get a little dirt on your hands boy Get a little dirt on your hands If you're gonna grow up to be a big big man You gotta get a little dirt on your hands You gotta get a little dirt on your hands Well it's four in the morning and the warden is a calling my name Says he's teaching me a lesson gonna send me out to work in the rain Dig that ditch boy chop that corn I gotta make you understand Only way to straighten out a guy like you Is to get a little dirt on your hands Get a little dirt on your hands boy Get a little dirt on your hands If you're gonna grow up to be a big big man You gotta get a little dirt on your hands You gotta get a little dirt on your hands
