Stompin Tom Connors - Jack of Many Trades lyrics

Down in the man power office I was lookin' for work

When along comes the feller in a big white shirt

He said you'll have to state your occupation son

He broke the lead of his pencil when I said, Which one?

I'm the jack of many trades, I took a hundred school grades

I wore out more axe blades, hammers, picks and dull spades

I'm the jack of many trades, a master of them all

I'm a fisherman, a fireman, a repairman, a cowboy, a roofer

A dog catcher, paymaster, bellboy, giant killer, diamond driller

Pig striller, milkman, gas pumper, coal dumper, bounty hunter, baker man

Surveyor, brick layer, hockey player, DJ, high rigger, grave digger, cotton picker, Chess player

I'm the jack of many trades, I took a hundred school grades

I wore out more axe blades, hammers, picks and dull spades

I'm the jack of many trades, a master of them all

I'm a farmer, snake charmer, doctor, a lawyer, a mule skinner, cat skinner,

Poker player, sawyer, floor sweeper, meter reader, miner, bum enroll, moss rigger

Ticket taker, lumberjack, sonomer, blood doner, matador, Steveador, Gun slinger

Pub singer, bell ringer, book maker, dry cleaner.

I'm the jack of many trades, I took a hundred school grades

I wore out more axe blades, hammers, picks and dull spades

I'm the jack of many trades, a master of them all

I'm a blacksmith, junkman, factory worker, lawman, bus driver, cab driver, truck driver

Weather man, sqiudjigger, babysitter, carpenter, psychriatrist, body man, service man

Taylor, archioligist, home maker, law breaker, lead breaker, paper boy, bus boy

A Water boy, bat boy, A lover boy.

I'm the jack of many trades, I took a hundred school grades

I wore out more axe blades, hammers, picks and dull spades

I'm the jack of many trades, a master of them all

I'm an oil man, train man, a garbage collector, mechanic, teacher, professor

movie director, a shoemaker, cook, painter, bar tender, vetranary, plumber

Tobacco man, barber, pipe setter, reporter, and salesman, postman, dealer man

Store man, butcher man, hydro man, potatoe man.

I'm the jack of many trades, I took a hundred school grades

I wore out more axe blades, hammers, picks and dull spades

I'm the jack of many trades, a master of them all

And if you have a job around, sir

I'd be the man to call, sir I'd be the man to call
