I was workin' on the project

Beggin' for relief for shoes

I was workin' on the project

Beggin' for relief for shoes

Because the rock an concrete

Hoo-well-well, now they giving my feet the blues

Workin' on the project

With holes all in my clothes

Workin' on the project

With holes all in my clothes

Tryin' to make me a dime

To keep the rent man from puttin me outdo’s

I am workin' on the project

Tryin' to make both ends meet

I am workin' on the project

Tryin' to make ends meet

But the payday is so long

Woo-well-well, until the grocery man won’t let me eat

Workin' on the project

My gal spending all my dough

Workin' on the project

My gal spending all my dough

Now I have waked up on her

Ooh-well-well, and I won’t be that weak no mo'

Workin' on the project

With payday three or four weeks away

Workin' on the project

With payday three or four weeks away

Now, how can you make they meet

Ooo-well-well-well, when you can’t get no pay?
