Hitting the road - trying to honestly earn my keep.
Taking on 'pretty much' anything to make a dollar.
So many things that I had little talent - less interest
But 'got to eat' - sweating a lot - 'south' of the collar.

Milking the herded Bovines - Swinging the clawed hammer.
Toting the mixed cement for the professional block layers.
Toiled some long days - young, next day very same pattern.
Smiles from me all around - 'Good hard-working people'.
