Delltones - Get A Little Dirt on Your Hands lyrics

When I was a little boy my daddy used to say to me, so-on You've got a whole lot of livin' and a lot of hard work to be done He said, go get your marbles, put 'em in the house Tear down your castles in the sand Come with your poppy to this cotton patch Get a little dirt on your hands Get a little dirt on your hands, boy, get a little dirt on your hands If you wanna grow up to be a big big man You gotta get a little dirt on your hands You gotta get a little dirt on your hands Well I got to be twenty and I thought I was a pretty big whee-eel Left the country for the city, met a slicker with a shady dea-eal He said hold up the tavern, grab all the money Run as fast as you can If you wanna get along in this big bad world You've gotta get a little dirt on your hands Get a little dirt on your hands, boy, get a little dirt on your hands If you wanna grow up to be a big big man You gotta get a little dirt on your hands You gotta get a little dirt on your hands Well it's four in the mornin' and the warden is callin' my na-ame Said he's teachin' me a lesson, gonna send me out to work in the rain He said dig that ditch boy, chop that wood, I've gotta make you understand The only way to straighten out a boy like you Is to get a little dirt on your hands Get a little dirt on your hands, boy, get a little dirt on your hands If you wanna grow up to be a big big man You gotta get a little dirt on your hands You gotta get a little dirt on your hands You gotta get a little dirt on your hands You gotta get a little dirt on your hands You gotta get a little dirt on your hands You gotta get a little dirt on your hands Get a little dirt on your hands Ge
