lyrics

LYRICS

Too ree ama, too ree ay
Too ree ama, too ree ay

Down on the corner of dock and holly, a woman comes and says to me
“Will you come and work for Jesus?”
I asked “how much does Jesus pay?”
And she tells me “Jesus pays no money”
I say “Well I wont work for him
I’ll go down to York addition and find a job with Charley Lind.”
