lyrics

WORKHORSE BLUES

I should have been a workhorse
But I don't have the discipline
I should have been a workhorse
But I don't have the discipline
If you take me to the river
You know I will jump right in

I should have been a workhorse
Working just for you
I should have been a workhorse
Working just for you
For a minute of your love
I would work my whole life through

Some are born to carry a different load
Some are born to follow a different road
Some are born to fly on golden wings
Some are born for darker things

I should have been a workhorse
In the fields from kin till cain't
I should have been a workhorse
In the fields from kin till cain't
Like Little Willie Foster
I might bend but I won't break

Wednesday's child is full of woe
Thursday's child has a long way to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving
Saturday's child works hard for a living

I should have been a workhorse
Like a mule behind the plough
I should have been a workhorse
Like a mule behind the plough
I should have been a workhorse
But I know it's too late now
