about five years ago i didn t have a cent so looking for a job to the music man i went the manager he said this band has got to roll so climb aboard with me and hand over your soul and so it s picking picking hard as long as you can stand picking all the day working for the music man the band begin to roll and i lit up a smoke while thinking to myself that this job was just a joke but then i heard a yell put on your boots my son get off that dirty floor and make that guitar hum and so it s picking picking hard as long as you can stand picking all the day working for the music man so everywhere we went and tired as i could be i soon made up my mind that this life was not for me but then i heard a shout you re hired for the run so get back up in here and make that guitar hum and so it s picking picking hard as long as you can stand picking all the day working for the music man now listen to my song you men who play for fun keep clear of music men they ll take you for a run the picking life is tough you d better stop it quick it ll leave you where you started you re better off to quit or else it s picking picking hard as long as you can stand picking all the day working for the music man
