Bill Anderson - Get A Little Dirt On Your Hands lyrics

When I was a little boy

My daddy used to say to me son

We got a little big land

And a lotta hard work to be done.

Go get your marbels put 'em in the house

Tear down your castles in the sand

Come with your pappy to the cotton patch

And get a little dirt on your hands.

Get a little dirt on your hands boy

Get a little dirt on your hands

If you're gonna 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 wheel

Left the country for the city

Met a slicker with a shady deal.

He said hold up the tavern take all the money

Run as fast as you can

If you're gonna get along in this big bad world

You 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're gonna 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 morning

And the warden is a calling my name

Says he's teaching me a lesson

Gonna send me out to work in the rain.

Dig that ditch boy, chop that corn

I gotta make you understand

Only way to straighten out a guy 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're gonna 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...
