When I was born you know
I couldn't speak "I'll go"
My mother worked each day
And she learned me to say.
Mother and father and son
Sister and uncle have fun
And she learned me to say
Life is so hard each day.
Poor boy you must know
Poor boy life is so hard to go
Poor boy
Poor boy you must say
Life is very hard to stay
When I was born you know
I couldn't speak "I'll go"
My mother worked each day
And she learned me to say.
Mother and father and son
Sister and uncle have fun
And she learned me to say
Life is so hard each day
Life is so hard each day
Life is so hard each day.
