Some people say I don't work boys,
My life is all leisure and ease,
And it's true that I ramble around, boys,
Drink whisky and do as I please.
Yet I've worked all over this country,
Know most of the jobs that there are,
But I like best to sing you my folksongs,
And play my old Gibson guitar.

Well, I have worked on a farm, boys,
I've helped to forest the hills,
I've been a white collar worker, boys,
In a factory I've worked with a will:
Yes, I've worked all over this country,
And I've even worked in a bar,
But I like best to sing you my folksongs,
And play my old Gibson guitar.

I don't have much education, boys,
So politics aren't for me,
I just want a life for my family boys,
In a world where they're equal and free,
I hope for a great day that's coming,
Without hatred and killing and war,
And perhaps I might even be helping,
As I play my old Gibson guitar.

The guitar in this song was his old pre war Gibson Jumbo, which was stolen, either at a gig or a festival, I can't remember which. I f any body's interested I can try scanning the dots for them.
