Harry Belafonte - Lead Man Holler lyrics

You hear me calling at the crack of dawn Jump up brothers come and face the morn Forget your aching from the day before 'Cause today we're goin' to do that and more Lead man holler, yo oh ho All men follow, down you go for a working dollar Yes he holler yo oh ho, all men follow Down we go for a working dollar I want de men, the women and the children too We got a long day out we got a lot to do We got to cut up, stack up and load the cane You better bring a shawl 'cause it look like rain Lead man holler, yo oh ho All men follow, down you go for a working dollar Yes he holler yo oh ho, all men follow Down we go for a working dollar Well a working man I am tired and true I won't ask you nothin' that I wouldn't do Well you pay today is the same as last Your work's the same, just a little fast Lead man holler, yo oh ho All men follow, down you go for a working dollar Yes he holler yo oh ho, all men follow Down we go for a working dollar Well I'd like to tell you 'bout yesterday You work quite well, I am proud to say I want ev'ry man to try his will And make yesterday look like he was standing still Lead man holler, yo oh ho All men follow, down you go for a working dollar Yes he holler yo oh ho, all men follow Down we go for a working dollar
