My daddy came a marchin’ 


Over the hill at dawn


 Had to make that wage man


 That’s how we got along


 My daddy’s life was workin’


Workin’ all day long


 Put food on the table


 And the children sang a song


 Yes, the children sang a song


 My grandad’s name was pulpwood


 Wore a coat of green


 Took a wife in ‘31


 Drove the big machine


 My daddy load the lumber


 Put it on the truck


 Used to see him walkin’ home on U.S. 41


 That’s right, U.S. 41




 All my life’s been workin’


Out the door and gone


 Got to make that overtime


 Keep us movin’ on


 Need a drink of water


 To get out of the sun


 Burnin’ up to make that wage on U.S. 41


 That’s right, U.S. 41


 The boss man owns the business


 Keeps it goin’ strong


 Be blowin’ like a hurricane and


 Work like nothin’s wrong


 We got to keep on movin’


 ‘til the bell gone ring


 Fill her up with kerosene


 And let that lady sing


 Whoa now, let that lady sing


 His given name was Lucky


 His wife’s name Annie Brown


 Run outside the law


 And they chased him right on down


 Lucky faced the lawman


 The captain drew his gun


 They put him with a sling blade


 On U.S. 41
