Lyrics
[Intro] Here's a song that's a straight, um Folk song, more or less called "On My Way" [Verse 1] Well, sometimes I am happy, sometimes sad Thinkin' of the good times I've had Thinkin' of the places I have been Sometimes down, sometimes up, sometimes in [Chorus] On my way to another workin' day On my way and I wish that I could stay On my way, I'm just waitin' for my pay And I hope that I will see you on my way [Verse 2] And I got me a job in Buffalo And it's cold when those chilly lake winds blow And it's hot when that steel furnace glows It was dirty when that steel smoke rose [Chorus] On my way to another workin' day On my way and I wish that I could stay On my way, I'm just waitin' for my pay And I hope that I will see you on my way [Verse 3] Then California called me for a while And the sun was shinin' every singlе mile But it got so crowded I could cry Crossin' land and sea and fallin' from thе sky [Chorus] On my way to another workin' day On my way and I wish that I could stay On my way, I'm just waitin' for my pay And I hope that I will see you on my way [Verse 4] And I've been all along the Southern shore And the people there were lookin' mighty poor They was waitin' for some factories to arrive And some of them were fightin' to survive [Chorus] On my way to another workin' day On my way and I wish that I could stay On my way, I'm just waitin' for my pay And I hope that I will see you on my way [Verse 5] Yes, I've been all up and down the line But somehow, my money stayed behind You know a good payin' job is hard to find And the graveyard's lookin' for another sign [Chorus] On my way to another workin' day On my way and I wish that I could stay On my way, but I have no time to play And I hope that I will see you on my way [Outro] Yes, I hope that I will see you on my way
