Up this hill and down, up this hill againUp this hill and down, up this hill againIt’s a mighty, mighty long roadWhat ain’t got no end.Well, it’s five o’clock in the morning till twelve o’clock at nightIt’s five o’clock in the morning till twelve o’clock at nightI work so hard to liveI ain’t got no life.If a woman doesn’t kill you she’ll drive you insaneIf a woman doesn’t kill you she’ll drive you insaneLove’s ’bout to get me downBut I sure do like the pain.Up this hill and down, up this hill againUp this hill and down, up this hill againIt’s a mighty, mighty long roadWhat ain’t got no end.Someday I’ll have some money I won’t have to work so hardSomeday I’ll have me some money and I won’t have to work so hardSaturday I’ll talk to my womanSunday I’ll talk to my Lord.Sometimes I’ve got troubles other time it’s miserySometimes I’ve got troubles other time it’s miseryIt seems like everything badHangs around with me.Up this hill and down, up this hill againUp this hill and down, up this hill againIt’s a mighty, mighty long roadWhat ain’t got no end…
