Well I've been workin in the goddamn sun With just for a dollar a day Been workin for a dollar a day I've been workin for a dollar a day Man I never understand why all my money Goes down to man at the bank And all he does is sit and think About the money that I'm gonna make And all of my brothers well their jumpin on planes And they going off fighting in wars They are lowered on a desert shore Fighting for my freedom and a little bit of oh Man it sure does cost well a whole lot of money Well to live in the land of the free Well I think I'll go and plant me a seed Grow a marijuana money tree Well then I'm gonna head down to south louisiana With a guitar on my back Corn bread and a gunny sack Maybe uncle sam'll cut me some slack I've been digging in the rock since five o'clock And my calluses is cut to the bone Well the soles in my shoes is worn Cuz I've been diggin in the rocks since dawn Well I've been workin in the goddamn sun With just for a dollar a day I've been workin for a dollar a day
